Mono(tm) Binary Kernel Support for Linux |
|
----------------------------------------- |
|
|
|
To configure Linux to automatically execute Mono-based .NET binaries |
|
(in the form of .exe files) without the need to use the mono CLR |
|
wrapper, you can use the BINFMT_MISC kernel support. |
|
|
|
This will allow you to execute Mono-based .NET binaries just like any |
|
other program after you have done the following: |
|
|
|
1) You MUST FIRST install the Mono CLR support, either by downloading |
|
a binary package, a source tarball or by installing from Git. Binary |
|
packages for several distributions can be found at: |
|
|
|
https://www.mono-project.com/download/ |
|
|
|
Instructions for compiling Mono can be found at: |
|
|
|
https://www.mono-project.com/docs/compiling-mono/linux/ |
|
|
|
Once the Mono CLR support has been installed, just check that |
|
``/usr/bin/mono`` (which could be located elsewhere, for example |
|
``/usr/local/bin/mono``) is working. |
|
|
|
2) You have to compile BINFMT_MISC either as a module or into |
|
the kernel (``CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC``) and set it up properly. |
|
If you choose to compile it as a module, you will have |
|
to insert it manually with modprobe/insmod, as kmod |
|
cannot be easily supported with binfmt_misc. |
|
Read the file ``binfmt_misc.txt`` in this directory to know |
|
more about the configuration process. |
|
|
|
3) Add the following entries to ``/etc/rc.local`` or similar script |
|
to be run at system startup: |
|
|
|
.. code-block:: sh |
|
|
|
# Insert BINFMT_MISC module into the kernel |
|
if [ ! -e /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register ]; then |
|
/sbin/modprobe binfmt_misc |
|
# Some distributions, like Fedora Core, perform |
|
# the following command automatically when the |
|
# binfmt_misc module is loaded into the kernel |
|
# or during normal boot up (systemd-based systems). |
|
# Thus, it is possible that the following line |
|
# is not needed at all. |
|
mount -t binfmt_misc none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc |
|
fi |
|
|
|
# Register support for .NET CLR binaries |
|
if [ -e /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register ]; then |
|
# Replace /usr/bin/mono with the correct pathname to |
|
# the Mono CLR runtime (usually /usr/local/bin/mono |
|
# when compiling from sources or CVS). |
|
echo ':CLR:M::MZ::/usr/bin/mono:' > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register |
|
else |
|
echo "No binfmt_misc support" |
|
exit 1 |
|
fi |
|
|
|
4) Check that ``.exe`` binaries can be ran without the need of a |
|
wrapper script, simply by launching the ``.exe`` file directly |
|
from a command prompt, for example:: |
|
|
|
/usr/bin/xsd.exe |
|
|
|
.. note:: |
|
|
|
If this fails with a permission denied error, check |
|
that the ``.exe`` file has execute permissions.
