[Mono-dev] Compiling mono on windows for developing (not running)

[Martin Thwaites]

Hi Alex,

I've been giving your tutorial ago, and I have some things that may be good
to add...

firstly, I'm building from git, and I checked it out using the visual
studio clone.  I think this lead to a line endings error, so you need to
run the script in a way that uses them properly.  I found that if you run
it with "bash -x -o igncr autogen.sh --prefix="c:\monoinstall"
--with-preview=yes" it seems to do the trick.

I've now come across another error that you may be able to help with:
=== configuring in eglib (/cygdrive/c/Users/Martin/Source/Repos/mono/eglib)
configure: WARNING: no configuration information is in eglib
=== configuring in libgc (/cygdrive/c/Users/Martin/Source/Repos/mono/libgc)
configure: running /bin/sh ./configure --disable-option-checking
'--prefix=/usr/local'  '--host=i686-pc-mingw32'
'host_alias=i686-pc-mingw32' 'CPPFLAGS_FOR_EGLIB=' 'CFLAGS_FOR_EGLIB='
'--disable-embed-check' '--with-libgc-threads=win32'
'--enable-win32-dllmain=yes' '--enable-parallel-mark'
'CPPFLAGS_FOR_LIBGC=-DWINVER=0x0500 -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0500
-D_WIN32_IE=0x0501 -D_UNICODE -DUNICODE -DWIN32_THREADS -DFD_SETSIZE=1024'
'CFLAGS_FOR_LIBGC= -g -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs -DGC_BUILD -DGC_NOT_DLL'
--cache-file=/dev/null --srcdir=.
/bin/sh: ./configure: No such file or directory
configure: error: ./configure failed for libgc

I'm now at a loss.

As I've stated before, what I'm looking to do is be able to develop mono
(not develop with) in Visual Studio.  Maybe the stuff the Miguel is doing
will help, but I just had a bit of time so thought I'd give your stuff ago.

Thanks,
Martin
