Me too. I just updated from cvs and now mcs is working on windows. This
is a first for me, so I'm very happy.

You won't be able to run the EXEs directly since they don't have the
mscoree hook stub in them. Hmmm.. I thought windows XP didn't require
the stub since it has native support for .NET EXEs? Maybe it's because
it references 'corlib' instead of 'mscorlib'?

I also tried building mcs with mcs, but it just ate all my virtual
memory and windows killed it.

Hey!! It's working (nearly)...

Well, it compiles hello.cs without errors!!

_BUT_  when I want to run  hello.exe I  get "This is not a valid win32
executable."

But, and this is the happy news, when running hello.exe with mint
(instead of .net) it works.

I think you did something wrong with the PE-header, damaging it for
windows.
