This guide describes the common installation process for Moonlight, you can get the original one
here.
Requirements:
- Mono 1.2.4
- ffmpeg Sources
- Moonlight Sources
- Olive
- Mono Libraries
- Mozilla Development Libraries
- Beryl or Compiz
Process:
1. Installing Mono 1.2.4: You will need download and Install
Mono 1.2.4(Ubuntu 7.04 Users can use
Viraptor Packages) Refresh and Install the Updates for the New Mono Packages.
2. Download and Configure ffmpeg from SVN:
$svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
$cd ffmpeg
$./configure --prefix=/usr/local
$sudo make install
4. Install additional packages +and dependencies:
- libnspr-dev

- firefox-dev
- libmono-system-messaging2.0-cil
- libcairo2-dev
- libgtk2.0-dev
- libasound2-dev
- mono-devel
- libmono-cairo2.0-cil
Note: Packages names are references to Ubuntu or Debian packages I recommend use aptitude or synaptic
5. Download and Configure Libraries
Olive:
$svn co svn://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/trunk/olive olive
$cd olive
$./configure --prefix=/usr
$make
$sudo make install
If you want to check your Olive configuration you can check this using Mono gacutil tool:
$gacutil -l agclr
The output should be:
The following assemblies are installed into the GAC:
agclr, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35
Number of items = 1
6. Download and Configure Moonlight:
$svn co svn://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/trunk/moon moon
$cd moon
$./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
$sudo make install
7. Enable Desktop Effects: Go to System->Preferences->Desktop Effects and enable it, beryl or compiz should work too.
Now you can test the Moonlight Installation running the following command in a terminal:
$mopen
Moolight Launcher should run and show the following information:
Usage is: mopen [args] [file.xaml|dirname]
Arguments are:
--fixed Disable window resizing
--geometry WxH Overrides the geometry to be W x H pixels
--host NAME Specifies that this file should be loaded in host NAME
--transparent Transparent toplevel
--desklet Remove window decoration for desklets use
Even when you can read the message, you need to run a Moonlight Enabled Application to ensure the installation process was successful:
Example: runing glassyclock desklet:
$cd desklet
$make
$cd glassyclock
$make
$mopen --desklet default.xaml
If you can see the beautiful clock, Congratulations!, if you see a black an ugly clock then you have no Desktop Effects/Beryl/Compiz Enabled.
