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

[Andy Hume]

Hi

I've not tried a build since, once bitten twice shy and all that.  I'll use that fix if I experience the problem when I do.

Many thanks


Maybe we could update the wiki with some of this sort of information.  This, this http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/mono-devel-list/2007-March/022829.html, I can't see a discussion of (err) disable-mcs-build either, and maybe there are more targets not discussed there either?

Andy
