[Mono-dev] windows build breakage? (missing CreateString)

[Atsushi Eno]

Hi,

Ok, thanks Rodrigo. So, I tried get-monolite-latest before asking,
but looks like it does not work because system-installed mcs takes
precedence and it did not match the runtime.

I copied mcs/class/lib/monolite/mscorlib.dll to
/usr/local/lib/mono/1.0 and now it builds here.
