[Mono-list] Mono build problem. Please Help

[Daniel Morgan]

Here's an idea...

Download the Mono 0.23 Windows Installer...

Make sure you have no Mono/mcs stuff still lying around somewhere...

Install it somewhere....

Modify the mono/doc/mono-build-w32.sh script to not download and not to
install
the gc.

The modified line is 148.
install_package libgc-dev.zip lib/gc.dll gc-dev

Comment it out with a # (pound) in front.
#install_package libgc-dev.zip lib/gc.dll gc-dev

Now, try running the mono-build-w32.sh script again.

not sure what it is, but I have been having this problem for the last month
or so.

Apparently it has something to do with the Cygwin setup being crap.

It would be really nice if some one could make an image of all the required
cygwin packages required to build mono on cygwin, so that newbies could go
and download all the cygwin packages, do a local install and then get mono
from cvs and build it using mono-build-w32.sh

I am trying to build mono on my XP box, running cygwin.

I downloaded and installed the latest COMPLETE installation of cygwin. When
trying to build mono I got the following error:

configure: error: Found libgc but not its header files! You may need to

I tried installing on XP and  Win 2000, with the same result.

Does anyone know how to get around this issue?

Thanks

Stefan
