That's what I do with Windows.Forms, as I can't compile the whole thing anymore. I just needed to tweak the WinForms project a bit to make it compile.

Thanks, Stifu -- but I've finally managed to successfully build and 
install the 2.6 branch head.  I'll put together a list of the things I 
had to do that weren't mentioned on Shana's blog post at 
<http://shana.worldofcoding.com/en/mono_cygwin_tutorial.html> and pass 
it on to her in case she wants to update; it's mostly just extra Cygwin 
packages.


Cheers,

Giles
