[Mono-list] Building mono on cygwin (SOLVED, kinda)

[Piers Haken]

Yeah, the reason I did this was to get the configure script to also use
the -mno-cygwin flag when it builds its tests, thus disabling the
HAVE_NETDH_H config.h definition (the -mno-cygwin flag disables the
inclusion of the <netdb.h> header). Tom had built his version by
removing this include from the source file, I believe the correct way is
to get the configure script to generate the correct flags initially. The
mono-build-w32.sh script does all this correctly, but it also checks out
the sources, rebuilds the makefiles, etc... which is a bit of pain if
you're going to run it more than once.

Piers.

Mono _WILL NOT BUILD_ on windows unless you set -mno-cygwin.  There are
no ifs and buts about that part.
