Hi,

See:
http://mono-project.com/Contributing
http://www.mono-project.com/Compiling_Mono
https://github.com/mono/mono

Keep in mind that in the sources, you'll find some sln or csproj files that
are outdated and no longer work, sadly. They're not the only way to compile
the sources, so sometimes developers do not keep them in sync (when adding
classes, etc). Personally, I managed to get the Mono WinForms csproj to
work, but I couldn't figure out how to fix it in a clean way, which is why I
didn't submit a fix for it.

Back then, this article helped me get started:
http://ivanz.com/2006/03/14/compile-mono-svn-head-on-windows/
It should still be relevant, except now it's Git and no longer SVN.
