[MonoDevelop] Running configure under Cygwin in Windows - "Can't find 'mono' in PATH"

[Christian Hoff]

Maybe that problem occurs because mono has the filename extension .exe 
in Windows and its name is therefore mono.exe, but the configure script 
is just looking for a file named "mono" as it would be present on Linux 
systems?

However I haven't tried to build mono on Windows yet; this is just what 
I am guessing.

Are you familar with the export command? Running "export -p" in a cygwin 
shell will give you the PATH environment variable that the configure 
script evaluates. What are the contents of it? Does PATH contain the bin 
directory of the mono installation where mono.exe is? If not, you can 
also set the PATH manually for this session by typing export 
PATH="/cygdrive/c/program files/mono-2.0/bin:....."
