[Mono-devel-list] Mono/Mcs Install on Cygwin/XP ( for first timeusers )

This mail is purely to document and bring out the issues that I have
encountered while
installing mono/mcs/mbas on Cygwin over XP.

With good pointers from Atsushi I was able to get HelloWorld program to
be compiled 
and executed with both mcs and mbas within Cygwin environment.

This is the patch ( not exactly a patch, but all workarounds ) that I
used.

Things to note:
This workaround is essentially a product of discussions that happened a
couple of
days back in the following thread:


http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-devel-list/2004-June/006661.html


/* comments on workarounds to mono tree */

1) This is not a patch but set of workarounds that served my purpose.
2) web/mono-build-w32.sh was patched as suggested in the following
thread:
    
   There is one difference though. GC is disabled. ( If I enable GC
both boehm as well 
   as internal ) I get a hang. On closer scrutiny it seems mono takes a
SIGSEGV as soon
   as it begins it's initialization.

   Can someone checkin the updated ( not this ) mono-build-w32.sh. Also
GC neeeds to be
  made to work with XP builds as well.

/* comments on workarounds to mcs tree */

1) Again this is not a patch in true sense of the word, but set of
workaround that
    served my purpose.

2) In mcs/build/library.make, I had to turn off intsallation in to gac
and signing of assemblies.
    This is so as to avoid references to the mono runtime. ( When you
are installing for the 
    first time, you obviously don't have a mono runtime working
already. )
 
   Ideally Makefiles have to change so that references to mono runtime
never happens when the
   install happens for the first time.

3) class/Mono.CSharp.Debugger/Makefile

    I had to replace the v .17 that's at the head currently and replace
it with v 1.6 before patching it
   as specified in the original discussion thread.

   This needs to be fixed.

4) class/Novell.Directory.Ldap

    This is patched is from
http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-devel-list/2004-July/006879.html

   
    Can the owner review and commit this ?

I hope it is of some help to the community.

Regards,
Jambunathan K.
