[Mono-list] RE: build error

[Piyush, Garyali (IE10)]

Thanks a lot Dick.

The build is done. I figureded out that the problem was with my "gcc"..
During the ./configure it had said "gcc can't create executables" so I had
removed the "-mno-cygwin" from the configure.in file and it worked fine..
but later created all kinds of problems. So, I reinstalled gcc and
everything was fine.

I wanted to know what does "-mno-cygwin" do because I could not find it
anywhere in the info pages of gcc??

There was one more issue. Even after finding Boehm GC i.e

#define HAVE_BOEHM_GC 1 it still showed
#undef HAVE_GC_GC_H
So it had to be changed to "1".

Apart from that the <gc/gc.h> in os/gc_wrapper.h couldn't be linked and had
to be changed to "/usr/local/include/gc/gc.h"

Thanks,
~p gary
