[Mono-dev] Errors Compiling for x64 Windows

[Howard Rubin]

Goal: Embed mono in a 64 bit C++ Windows program
(http://www.mono-project.com/docs/about-mono/languages/mixing-with-other-lan
guages/)

 

What I tried:

Downloaded the ZIP file from github (https://github.com/mono/mono ,
https://github.com/mono/mono/archive/master.zip)

Read Windows compile instructions
(http://www.mono-project.com/docs/compiling-mono/windows/)

Installed Cygwin with the recommended packages

Set the MONO_DEPENDENCIES_PREFIX environment variable to C:\Program Files
(x86)\Mono\

Tried to compile the 6 projects in the Libraries folder with Visual Studio
2010 (in Debug/Win32) because msvc\mono.sln was last saved with that Visual
Studio version.

        Result:  error MSB8008: Specified platform toolset (v120) is not
installed or invalid. <snip>

Compiled the 6 projects in the Libraries folder with Visual Studio 2013
express (in Debug/Win32) Result: Success

Switched to Debug/x64 configuration

Tried to compile the 6 projects in the Libraries folder with Visual Studio
2013 express.

        Result: error C1189: #error :  Unsupported compiler.  <snip>
mono-master\mono\utils\valgrind.h      454        1             libmono

 

Please help me compile mono for x64 Windows
