Hello Michael
If you are building stuff on windows, you don't have to checkout
or build the mono tree since the .NET runtime is already provided
by windows. (Only mono has dependency on glib. Since you are
not going to build mono you can forget about the glib related
errors.)
You only have to checkout the mcs tree from svn (yes we switched
to subversion very recently !)
Assuming that you have setup cygwin environment with all
development packages (gcc, make and stuff ) follow the
steps outlined herein to get going in no time:
http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-vb/2004-November/000338.html
(Beware of line wrap in the above url.)
As for hacking of Makefiles mentioned therein, you don't have
to essentially hack the Makefiles.
All you need to know is what commands "make" issues to the shell.
This you can figure out by doing "make -n" on that particular
directory aftre doing a "make clean".
Hope this helps.
Btw, I request you to post all vb related mails to mono-vb list.
Thios way it would get our immediate attention.
Regards,
Jambunathan K.

Well it's been quite some time since I've been able to try compiling
Mono from
source.
I downloaded the mono-build-w32.sh script, set my ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I
/usr/local/share/aclocal" and PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/bin" (the
mono
compiling page says only to set the appropriate variables but doesn't
say to
what or why or how--not too helpful to us windows spoiled compiling
noobs, I
got instructions on what to set these to from
http://www.gotmono.com/docs/installation/windows.html#build). I then
ran the
script according to instructions from the mono compiling page.
Initially the
script said that a file was broken and I should delete a line (can't
recal the
file name but the line to delet was something like #define
ftruncate...). So I
found the file the error message mentioned, deleted the line and ran
the script
again.
Well then the script seemed to run just fine for a long time. make was
going
along through the directory structure of the source code for a long
time (like,
an hour). I was seeing quite a few warnings but no errors
until...suddenly
there were a *lot* of "undefined reference to.." messages that all
seemed to
refer to files in the ~/glib-2.0.4/glib/ directory and its
subdirectories.
Then make exited with the following output:
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: ***[pedump.exe] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/michael/mono/mono/mono/metadata'
make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
...then some other lines that just show that make is recursively
leaving the
directory structure, then...
make: *** [all] Error 2
So, what should I look at next?
