Hi,

I downloaded the sources.
I also downloaded cygwin and installed it.

While configuring the mono sources I get an error that libffi 1.20 or =
greater
is required. ( This does not come with cygwin )
Hence I downloaded libffi sources, while configuring these=20
sources I get an error that - "libffi has not been ported to =
i386-pc-cygwin32"

Did you get into this problem, if yes how can I get around this problem?
I am using Windows 2000 with service pack 1.

I am very new to mono as well as open source development

Some other questions are

1. What is the difference between mono runtime and MCS
2. Can it be built on linux?

Thanks,
Mandar
