[Mono-dev] building mcs/mono on cygwin

[Kornél Pál]

Hi,

I have no problems with sed (I have the same version as you) maybe that will
be solved by solving other problems.

I can build Mono on cygwin by doing the following:

Install all the cygwin packages listed on the bottom of page
http://www.mono-project.com/Mono:Windows#Building_Mono_on_Windows

If you don't want to build dependencies you can download them from
http://www.mono-project.com/Compiling_Mono#Windows_Compilation
I use cygwin pkgconfig without problems so I don't recommend to use the old
one from the above page or to build another one.

You will have to edit .pc files that are in zip files to include the correct
path you extracted them to (I suggest /usr).

You cannot use cygwin glib-devel as it requires cygwin but compiled Mono
binaries are cygwin independent.
