[Mono-dev] correction for "Compiling Mono on WIndows' page.

[Adar Wesley]

Hi Lucas,

This depends on the shell you are using.  If you are using /bin/bash or
other
/bin/sh derivative the instructions are correct.
Call the script directly as:
/tmp/build_deps/env.sh
to run the commands in a sub-shell, or
. /tmp/build_deps/env.sh
to run the commands in the current shell (notice the '.' in the beginning of
the line)

If you are using /bin/tcsh or other /bin/csh derivative, the 'source'
command is used
to execute commands in the current shell.  This is the same behavior as the
'.' command
in /bin/bash.
In this case, I believe the 'source' command is wrong because the commands
in the mentioned
file are /bin/bash or /bin/sh commands.

Have a good day,
