[Mono-devel-list] Error compiling MCS from svn on Windows

[Daniel Morgan]

Eno,

Thanks for your reply.  Unfortunately, I still can not compile mcs.  Any 
other ideas?

I am trying to compile a fresh check out of mcs from svn trunk HEAD on 
Cygwin.  I have Windows XP SP2 (with latest fixes).
Mono 1.1.4 using Paco's Installer.
ms.net 1.0, ms.net 1.1, but i have only 1.1 in my PATH.  Of course, Mono 
1.1.4 comes frist before .net 1.1 in my PATH..
For ms .net 1.0 and ms.net 1.1, i have the latest service packs.

I also have ms office xp pro is installed.  ms Office products have been 
known in the past to cause problems with other things on the system.
