[Mono-list] Few Newbie Questions

[Piers Haken]

you right about cygwin/mingw.
 
the cygwin distribution ships with the mingw libraries, and the mono
build process throws the '-mno-cygwin' gcc switch which targets mingw.
I'd recommend getting the whole cygwin setup, you'll get all the
goodness plus integrated mingw support ;-)

Ok guys i've been following the list for about 1 month now and kinda see
the direction things are headed and thought it was about time I jumped
into things.
 
My fist question being that on the go-mono site there are alot of
refrences to the cygwin compiler for compiling on win32 , I myself use a
MingW gcc based compiler so its not dependant on and of the cygwin dll's
( witch i believe make the ending program slow becouse of the posix
emulation ) , so the question is has anyone had any luck with compiling
on win32 with MingW ( the specific compiler i use is
http://www.mingw.org <http://www.mingw.org>  , with GDB
http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/ <http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/>  Debuger
and http://www.bloodshed.net <http://www.bloodshed.net>  IDE all of
witch are GPL on win32 )
 
hmmm i know there are some other things i will runinto along they way as
I am a hardcore vb6 fan and am beging to catch onto c# and vb.net (
framework sdk ).
