[Mono-list] Gonzalo's bootstrap tarball

Ah. I see.

I can't even get it that far! All I get there is

mcs test.cs

fixme:win32:PE_CreateModule Unknown directory 14 ignored
err:module:get_registry_value Invalid load order module-type L"so",
ignored
err:module:PE_fixup_imports Module (file) mscoree.dll (which is needed
by Z:\usr\local\bin\mcs.exe) not found

Which isn't much use. The exe it had produced before my problems began
worked fine when I typed mono test.exe

TTFN

Then why not come over from the darkside, and become one of the ever
increasing number of people using Linux - it's free, it's open,
it's easier to use than Windows and more reliable as well.
