Well I thought of that, and although I still have it installed, it's not
mentioned in any of the environment variables like PATH etc.
Are the executables built using Microsoft's CSC somehow aware of the
path to Microsoft's mscorlib.dll?

Are you sure that you can uninstall the MS.Net framework after it's been
installed?
Doesn't it become part of windows?

Subject: [Mono-list] Confused!
I just built the mono and mcs trees from scratch under cygwin. Initially
I was having all trouble getting some stuff to compile because I didn't
have any corlib.dll whatsoever. I solved that by using the .NET SDK to
compile and install it, so I should be happy, right?
Well nearly - while trying to repeat the entire build process so that I
can document it, I found that despite removing every corlib.dll I can
find, things like 'mcs' are still able to execute. I'm confused because
I was expecting to get a missing library error! I've even gone as far as
rebooting so I can be sure Cygwin isn't caching the DLL in some weird
way.
Am I being stupid or what? Did I imagine the initial "Can't find
corlib.dll" errors or what?
