I'm having problems running mcs and other mono tools under Cygwin
because their wrapper scripts and the .EXEs are in the same directory.
In this configuration it seems like Cygwin gets confused about whether
it should be loading the shell script or the executable. In order to get
it to work correctly, I've had to move all the EXEs apart from mono.exe
into a sub-folder, and modify the shell scripts to invoke them from
there. Otherwise I get errors like this:
% mcs fred.cs
bash: ./mcs: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied
This isn't a permissions problem, it's Cygwin doing something silly, or
something I don't appreciate.
I'll gladly submit a patch to the Makefiles to work around this issue if
there's not a solution in place already.
Richard.
