[Mono-list] Compiling mono on windows

[James Ots]

I've been reading the mono list for a while now, and I've been playing
around a little on linux. Today I finally managed to get cygwin
installed on Windows 2000 and I'm trying to compile everything. mcs
compiled perfectly - I just checked everything out of cvs and typed
'make windows' and a couple of minutes later I had mcs.exe which works.

Then I moved onto mono. I ran mono-build-w32.sh which went off and got
all the files, created the makefiles and then ran make. But halfway
through, while trying to compile mono/mono/metadata/reflection.c I get this:

Making all in metadata

Is this to be expected, or have I done something wrong? Should I just
wait a while, update my sources and try again?
