I updated instructions and patches here:  
[http://sparcs.kaist.ac.kr/~tinuviel/download/IronRuby/](http://sparcs.kaist.ac.kr/~tinuviel/download/IronRuby/)

So, the current summary is:

1. Build Mono from SVN (tested r88240)
2. Checkout IronRuby from SVN (tested r50)
3. Apply patch-mono (which fixes Rakefile and includes DLR changes  
shared with FePy)
4. rake compile mono=1

You don’t need NAnt anymore.

I successfully compiled under Mono, and basic things do work. However,  
we don’t run the tests or the specs at all and we run into failure  
scenarios virtually right away. I’ll build a small repro and send over  
to the Mono folks so that they can investigate the failures in more  
detail.
