[Mono-list] Compile error - cannot find type 'Form'

[Jonathan Pryor]

What's your command line?  Are you including the reference to
System.Windows.Forms?

For example, this would be an appropriate command line:

	mcs swftest.cs -r:System.Windows.Forms.dll

Your compiles for me with this command line, though I'm using CVS, not
mono-0.17.

However, *running* swftest.exe is a different problem.  When I run
swftest.exe, I get the output:

	wine client error:(nil): sendmsg: Bad file descriptor

I don't think System.Windows.Forms works under Linux right now.
