Hi guys,

Just trying to get a little mwf hacking done with what little spare time
I have at the moment.

I just svn up'ed mono, mcs and libgdiplus. I did a make, make install
from mono and then tried to run a standard winforms demo.

When I run a winforms demo I get this error:
mono swf-buttons.exe
Mono System.Windows.Forms Assembly [Revision: 41731; built: 2005/2/15
5:56:12]

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception
was thrown by the type initializer for System.Windows.Forms.XplatUI --->
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown
by the target of an invocation. ---> System.NotSupportedException:
Either image format is unknown or you don't have the required libraries
for this format.
in <0x0014a> System.Drawing.GDIPlus:CheckStatus (Status status)
in <0x000ca> System.Drawing.Image:InitFromStream (System.IO.Stream
stream)
in (wrapper remoting-invoke-with-check)
System.Drawing.Image:InitFromStream (System.IO.Stream)
...

I figured it must be a libgdiplus/winforms sync issue. So I updated
libgdiplus and did a make clean, make distclean and then reautogened and
did a make.

When I did make in libgdiplus I got this error:

 gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../libpixman/src -I../libpixman/src
-I../cairo/src -I../cairo/src -I/usr/include/glib-2.0

Any help here would be much appreciated. Maybe I've been away too long
and the way things are built has changed ?
