[Mono-winforms-list] compiling mono swf in local directory?

Yes, but in my experience, it's messy.

Compile mono as normal to your local directory. When you come to execute
mcs, you need to say /home/paul/bin/mcs -
r:/home/paul/lib/System.Windows.Forms

(where /home/paul is your home directory, /bin is whereever the mono
binaries live, /lib whereever the mono libs live). I have a feeling
you'll also have to tell it to use the includes from /home/paul/includes
as well.

As I say, can be done, but is messy.

Failing that, run autogen.sh --prefix=/opt and then you just need to
say /opt/bin/mcs. Slightly less messy, but still a pain.

TTFN
