Download and unzip to any directory. The unzipped directory structure is shown here:



The chilkatCs directory contains the C# source files for the Chilkat classes. These use the standard P/Invoke to call into a native library containing the implementation. Native shared libraries for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X are provided.
On Windows, open a Mono Command Prompt. On Linux or Mac OS X, start a terminal. Navigate to the chilkatMono-9.5.0 directory.
On Linux and Mac OS X, make sure the bash shell scripts (.sh) files have execute permission:
chmod a+x *.sh
(Optional) If desired, generate a new Strong Key by running createSnk.sh (or createSnk.bat on Windows). This script contains the following command:
sn -k chilkat.snk
Create the Chilkat Mono managed assembly (chilkatMono.dll) by running makeChilkat.sh (or makeChilkat.bat on Windows). This script contains the following command:
csc -keyfile:chilkat.snk -target:library -out:chilkatMono.dll chilkatCs/*.cs
Copy the native shared library that matches your system's architecture to the chilkatMono-9.5.0 directory (i.e. the same directory where chilkatMono.dll that was just created is located). For example, if running on 64-bit Linux:
cp nativeDll/linux/x64/libchilkatMono-9_5_0.so .
Build the chilkatTest.cs sample program by running makeTest.sh (or makeTest.bat on Windows). This script contains the following command:
csc -lib:. -r:chilkatMono.dll chilkatTest.cs
The sample program can be run. For example:
(on Windows)
./chilkatTest.exe

(on Linux, Mac OS X, etc.)
mono chilkatTest.exe
