Hello Graham,
Sebastien, do you use cygwin then?
Yes I do.
I'm really keen on
contributing (if I get the time) but I need to get the environment right. I'm
a windows .net developer so would feel more at home
in Windows. I take it that there aren't enough GNU build tools available for
Windows to eliminate Cygwin are there? I've been
trying for a while now to get Cygwin to build MONO
from the scripts but there's always something
wrong.
As I said I never (well
that's not entirely true but close enough) tried to compile mono (under
/mono/ in CVS) - so I didn't need the scripts. I only compile mcs, the
class library, the tools (i.e. what's under /mcs/ in CVS) and, sometime, the doc
(/mono/doc/web). This is far more easier to setup.
This may be a na�ve
question but why is it so complicated building MONO? I mean these all these
utilities used like configure, automake (or
something).
Many different environments. It makes us remember that cross
platform development is difficult without Mono
;-)
Final question (for
now), why can't both the Windows and Unix builds use
the same Nant file?
That would be nice (for the record I much prefer NAnt over
makefiles :-).
