docs-rst: create an user's manual book
Place README, REPORTING-BUGS, SecurityBugs and kernel-parameters on an user's manual book. As we'll be numbering the user's manual, remove the manual numbering from SecurityBugs. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>

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 CVS. Binary
|
||||
packages for several distributions can be found at:
|
||||
|
||||
http://go-mono.com/download.html
|
||||
|
||||
Instructions for compiling Mono can be found at:
|
||||
|
||||
http://www.go-mono.com/compiling.html
|
||||
|
||||
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::
|
||||
|
||||
# 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.
