Building Nancy on Mono
We have been using Mono 2.10.2, anything earlier produces build errors. The version of MonoDevelop that we have been using is the 2.6 Beta 3 build.
The NDjango engine in Nancy was built with FSharp, so in order to build it you are going to have to install the latest FSharp package. Once you have installed it, you will also have to download the zip of the latest version of FSharp PowerPack
Once downloaded you need to unzip and install it into the GAC
$ sudo unzip FSharpPowerPack.zip -d /opt
$ cd /opt/FSharpPowerPack-2.0.0.0/bin
$ sudo gacutil /i FSharp.Compiler.CodeDom.dll
$ sudo gacutil /i FSharp.PowerPack.Build.Tasks.dll
$ sudo gacutil /i FSharp.PowerPack.Compatibility.dll
$ sudo gacutil /i FSharp.PowerPack.dll
$ sudo gacutil /i FSharp.PowerPack.Linq.dll
$ sudo gacutil /i FSharp.PowerPack.Metadata.dll
$ sudo gacutil /i FSharp.PowerPack.Parallel.Seq.dll
To verify that the installation was successful run the following commands
$ fsi

The Nancy.sln file contains two build configurations, called MonoDebug and MonoRelease, that should be build when building Nancy on Mono. These ensures that windows-only features (such as the WCF host) will not produce build errors when you compile the source.
