Has anyone tried to port Mono to RTEMS

[xuelin.tian at qkmtech.com]

Hi Russell,
I have another thing to ask you. 
Have you ever done some assessment of resource occupancy? Like how much memory would Mono use, generally, and CPU and so on... 



Best wishes,

FreeBSD uses a system called  ports that builds a piece of software
configured for FreeBSD. The system is well documented in the FreeBSD
handbook:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html
 
The port you are looking for is:
http://www.freshports.org/lang/mono/
 
Effectively, if you have set up ports on your FreeBSD computer, you
can then type a simple command to build it. The command to build can
usually be found on the freshports.org page for that package[1]. In
this instance it is:
 
cd /usr/ports/lang/mono/ && make #--> No installation on rootfs
cd /usr/ports/lang/mono/ && make install clean
 
If you want to make changes to the port, I recommend using subversion
to download the ports tree because if you use the standard method, an
update to the ports tree will overwrite your changes. This method is
also documented in the handbook at
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html
 
Now, be aware that this can also all be done from pulling the Mono
repository from GitHub.com and building it yourself on any platform
you choose.
 
[1] I don't know anything about cross compiling for RTEMS as a limited
amount of free time has rendered me a sideline spectator for RTEMS at
this point. Note that cross compiling for ARM can be somewhat more
involved. I can dig up some stuff if necessary.
