As I do most of my work on OSX and Linux, have not yet determined what governs the DLL search path.    Also, libmono-2.0.dll.a does not appear to be a traditional dll, so suspect this is a loading mechanism specific to MinGW compiled DLLs.

Please post the exact error message.

Again, the static libmono is unsupported under Windows.

Make sure that "mono-2.dll" is in the same directory (or somewhere on 
the PATH).
