[Mono-list] RE: What/Where is "csc.exe"?

[Daniel Morgan]

You may have to get the mcs and class library binaries from
mono.baselabs.org if you use RPMS.  If you look on 
the http://www.go-mono.com/download.html page, 
they have a link for DEBS too.

Currently, corlib only builds on windows.  However, other class library
assemblies and the mcs compiler can be compiled on Linux, but you need
to get the binaries first.

Sort of like, in order to build gcc, you have to have the gcc binaries.

Thanks!

I downloaded the libs and compiler from monolabs and it works ok.  I can

compile and run "Hello world" and other examples.  I am now trying to 
compile my own mcs (after a checkout of the mcs tree) and am stuck
there.

It seems I need some tool called "csc.exe" which does not exist in the 
monolabs binaries:
