[Mono-dev] Lining error while compilation Mono under Windows/VS2008

[Bill Holmes]

Hi,

This configuration works correctly for me.  I believe the problem is
that you are using the VS Dependency zip-archive.  That archive has
not been kept up to date.  I know there is documentation somewhere
that points to using it but that should be changed.

"All required libraries for building mono in Visual Studio are
referenced via the MONO_DEPENDENCIES_PREFIX environment variable. Set
this variable to a previous installed mono (C:\Mono-1.2.5.2 for
example), or to a cygwin environment setup for building mono
(D:\cygwin\opt for example)."

I did verify that g_str_has_prefix is not an exposed method in the dll
that is contained in the VS Dependency zip-archive, but it does exist
in the 2.0 installed version of libglib.
