[Mono-devel-list] Mono no longer builds on Windows

[Gert Driesen]

Hi,

For a while now, Mono and mcs no longer build on Windows.

Mono fails with the following error :

make[3]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/d/cvs/mono/mono/runtime'
if test -f ../../mcs/gmcs/gmcs.exe; then f=../../mcs/gmcs/gmcs.exe; else
f=/gmcs
.exe; fi; \
echo "cp -f $f ."; \
cp -f $f .
cp -f /gmcs.exe .
cp: cannot stat `/gmcs.exe': No such file or directory

And mcs fails with this error :

which is expected as csc does not recognize the -2 option (to enable
"experimental C# features").

Can someone look into this ?

Thanks
