There is no precompiled Mono package for MSYS, but you don't need any. I
just used the one that is distributed by Mono project. It is currently
2.4.x but I used even 2.0.1 and it worked, anything older then 2.0 will
not pass the configure check anyway.

It should be, but I never tried that.

OK, when you read the configure.in file, and the files in m4 folder, you
will see that one can override the detection of gmcs, java, mono, swig
and (for tests) wpd2raw by giving it the corresponding environmental
variables at configure time.

Now, I normally cross-compile the bindings from linux, so there might be
a little hickup from MSYS (now I remember, you have to give it the
dos-style paths like /c/PROGRA~1/Mono-2.4.1/ because MSYS is not liking
too much spaces in file-names) but the last time I used it it was
working.

BTW, you will have to use sun jdk, because the gcj from www.mingw.org is
not supporting generics and the build will choke on java.

Instead of hours of Googling, reading the configure.in and the m4 files
is always a superior solution.
