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

[Marcos Cobeña Morián]

Hello Andy,

When I saw your e-mail concerning your broken environment I forgot to
mention an issue I had during my first steps here, and Andreia helped
me to fix it: http://twitter.com/marcoscobena/statuses/34078112.

I haven't rebuilt mcs/mono for two weeks, so I don't know if it still
applies. If it does, I had to do that before a new mcs rebuild.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
