I just built the
mono and mcs trees from scratch under cygwin. Initially I was having all trouble
getting some stuff to compile because I didn't have any corlib.dll whatsoever. I
solved that by using the .NET SDK to compile and install it, so I should be
happy, right?
Well nearly - while
trying to repeat the entire build process so that I can document it, I found
that despite removing every corlib.dll I can find, things like 'mcs' are
still able to execute. I'm confused because I was expecting to get a missing
library error! I've even gone as far as rebooting so I can be sure Cygwin isn't
caching the DLL in some weird way.
Am I being stupid or
what? Did I imagine the initial "Can't find corlib.dll" errors or
what?
