[Mono-dev] Bug with Ssl cert validation

[Bryan Crotaz]

I spent 4 days trying to get make to work on Cygwin. Followed those
instructions and others. Every post I found had significant errors in
it (eg Cygwin package names ) or was years out of date.

And also, I've only had mixed success in stepping / debugging mono sources this way, but maybe you have access to a non-windows machine?  Or maybe you care to build mono with cygwin on windows, and attempt to reproduce this result in Visual Studio?

But of course, you can't step through the Microsoft closed source.  ;-)  And you'll probably have to figure out some tricks to make VS debug against the mono assemblies instead of .NET.  This might be easiest using MonoDevelop / XS (even on windows.)  I venture a guess that it's easier to make XS debug against mono sources.
