[Mono-dev] List of referenced assemblies

[Vassil Vassilev]

Hi,
   Thanks for the answer. This seemed not to be the case with the M$ 
compiler. I will double check today.
   Is there any way to build 'fat libraries' (standalone) i.e to tell 
the compiler to put everything that the library needs (of course not 
mscorlib) in the library itself?
Cheers,
Vassil
