Mono(gacutil) Mono(gacutil) NAME gacutil - Global Assembly Cache management utility. SYNOPSIS gacutil [-user] [command] [options] DESCRIPTION gacutil is a tool used by developers to install versioned assemblies into the system Global Assembly Cache (GAC) to become part of the as- semblies that are available for all applications at runtime. Notice that they are not directly available to the compiler. The con- vention is that assemblies must also be placed in a separate directory to be accessed by the compiler. This is done with the -package direc- tive to gacutil. The tool allows for installation, removal, and listing of the contents of the assembly cache. The GAC is relative to the Mono installation prefix: mono_pre- fix/lib/mono. COMMANDS -i <assembly_path> [-check_refs] [-package NAME] [-root ROOTDIR] [-gacdir GACDIR] Installs an assembly into the global assembly cache. <assembly_path> is the name of the file that contains the assembly manifest The -package option can be used to also create a directory in in pre- fix/lib/mono with the name NAME, and a symlink is created from NAME/as- sembly_name to the assembly on the GAC. This is used so developers can reference a set of libraries at once. The -root option is used to specify the "libdir" value of an installa- tion prefix which differs from the prefix of the system GAC. Typical automake usage is "-root $(DESTDIR)$(prefix)/lib". To access assem- blies installed to a prefix other than the mono prefix, it is necessary to set the MONO_GAC_PREFIX environment variable. The -gacdir option is included for backward compatibility but is not recommended for new code. Use the -root option instead. The -check_refs option is used to ensure that the assembly being in- stalled into the GAC does not reference any non strong named assem- blies. Assemblies being installed to the GAC should not reference non strong named assemblies, however the is an optional check. -l [assembly_name] [-root ROOTDIR] [-gacdir GACDIR] Lists the contents of the global assembly cache. When the <assem- bly_name> parameter is specified only matching assemblies are listed. -u <assembly_display_name> [-package NAME] [-root ROOTDIR] [-gacdir GACDIR] Uninstalls an assembly from the global assembly cache. <assembly_dis- play_name> is the name of the assembly (partial or fully qualified) to remove from the global assembly cache. If a partial name is specified all matching assemblies will be uninstalled. As opposed to the install option that takes a filename, this takes as an argument the assembly name, which looks like this: MyLibrary.Something, version=1.0.0.0, publicKeyToken=xxxx,culture=neutral Notice that you can have spaces in the command line. There is no need to quote them. Performs a greedy removal. If you only specify one component like, "MyLibrary.Something", it will remove all versions of the library. -us <assembly_path> [-package NAME] [-root ROOTDIR] [-gacdir GACDIR] Uninstalls an assembly using the specified assembly's full name. <as- sembly path> is the path to an assembly. The full assembly name is re- trieved from the specified assembly if there is an assembly in the GAC with a matching name, it is removed. Unlike the -u option this option takes a file name, like this: Example: -us myDll.dll -ul <assembly_list_file> [-package NAME] [-root ROOTDIR] [-gacdir GACDIR] Uninstalls one or more assemblies from the global assembly cache. <assembly_list_file> is the path to a test file containing a list of assembly names on separate lines. Example -ul assembly_list.txt assembly_list.txt contents: assembly1,Version=1.0.0.0,Culture=en,PublicKeyToken=0123456789abcdef assembly2,Version=2.0.0.0,Culture=en,PublicKeyToken=0123456789abcdef FILES On Unix assemblies are loaded from the installation lib directory. If you set `prefix' to /usr, the assemblies will be located in /usr/lib. On Windows, the assemblies are loaded from the directory where mono and mint live. /etc/mono/config, ~/.mono/config Mono runtime configuration file.
