I have found that the best way to get mono to build (start building at least) under windows, from cvs,  is to do the following:
 
 - create a directory to hold the cvs files (/monocvs)
 - cd into that directory (cd /mononocvs)
 - do a complete get from cvs of mono and mcs (see go-mono.com for how to get from anoncvs)
 - copy /mono/doc/mono-build-w32.sh into /monocvs
 - run /monocvs/mono-build-w32.sh
 
mono-build-w32.sh will should then automate grabbing all (most) required libraries and building (even updates mono and mcs from cvs).
 
then follow the instructions from /mono/mcs/README.building
 
Gonzalo: It might be a point to add the line that tells the users where to put mono-build-w32.sh into README.building, it took me a while to figure out that it had to be at the same directory level as mono and mcs.
 
Hope that Helps

Subject: [Mono-list] A COMPLETE list of prerequisites for compiling mono in Cygwin?

Mono folk:

 

Although Mr. Daniel Morgan was kind enough to point me to the autogen.sh file in the mono folder, I'm still running into dependency issues.  (I'm currently battling glib 2.2.1, which isn't compiling under Cygwin.)  Does anyone have a complete list of prerequisites for compiling mono under Cygwin?  Preferably with links to download sites?

 

Thanks!
