-r is where one references the assemblies needed for the project. From the
mcs man page:

       -r:ASSEMBLY1[,ASSEMBLY2], -r ASSEMBLY1[,ASSEMBLY2]
              Reference the named assemblies.  Use this to use classes from
the named  assembly  in  your  program.
              The  assembly  will be loaded from either the system directory
where all the assemblies live, or from
              the path explicitly given with the -L option.

So had you referenced the assembly System.Drawing.dll in your program

	using System.Drawing;

Then you would need to: mcs -r System.Drawing.dll file1.cs filen.cs
