[Mono-dev] Building IronPython - The compiler errors are presumably actual bugs on Mono.

[HEMMI, Shigeru]

Hello,

Building IronPython on Mono having compilation errors. This has been
reported to IronPython mailing list by Sanghyeon Seo. However,
Microsoft IPy team is saying that the compiler errors are presumably
actual bugs on Mono.
Let me know if it is a bug of Mono or not.

FYI, take a look at
