Hi Robert,
Thanks for the answers; my replies inline below.

The bad news first: the Windows build is broken at present.
Ah, OK. I guess it's still worth trying to get my build to fail in the
"right" way, though.
Here's the error message:
----------
make[8]: Entering directory `/usr/src/mono/mcs/tools/gacutil'
Creating ../../build/deps/gacutil.exe.response ...
MCS [basic] gacutil.exe
The assembly mscorlib.dll was not found or could not be loaded.
It should have been installed in the
`C:\cygwin\usr\src\mono\mono\mono\mini\lib\
mono\2.0\mscorlib.dll' directory.

This probably a problem on your side. Do you have an official
Mono installation in your path as suggested by Shana's docs?
I do. I installed the most recent installer (I think
mono-2.6.4-gktshartp-2.12.10-win43-3.exe) to the default location, and
have the following in my .bashrc:
PATH=".:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program
Files/Mono-2.6.4/bin"
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=".:/lib/pkgconfig:/cygdrive/c/Program
Files/Mono-2.6.4/lib/pkgconfig"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=".:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/lib:/cygdrive/c/Program
Files/Mono-2.6.4/lib"
export PATH PKG_CONFIG_PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Typing "mono --version" from the Cygwin bash prompt works, so I'm pretty
sure that at least the PATH is OK.
It looks to me like it's trying to find a version that was installed in
the build tree, though -- or is this a fallback of some kind if it can't
find a properly installed version?
I'm following the instructions on this excellent (but, I think, slightly
out of date) blog post:
<http://shana.worldofcoding.com/en/mono_cygwin_tutorial.html>, which is
linked from the Mono website.
They are still relevant (modulo version numbers).
OK. Is Shana active on this list, or would it be worth me dropping her
an email with a list of the Cygwin packages that might be worth adding
to the list on the blog post, and suggesting the update to the SVN
repository URLs?
This special Make version is still required.
Thanks, glad I didn't decide I knew better than the instructions, then...
The CRLF issue is probably caused by a Tortoise SVN checkout.
You're supposed to use cygwin's svn and also take care to mount
cygwin's "drives" in binary mode (it's the default, though).
OK, thanks -- another one I could suggest to Shana, then -- she suggests
using the standard command-line win32 version and TortoiseSVN as options.
Another solution is to autogen with --enable-nls=no or --disable-nls.
OK.
You're not alone on the journey to nowhere :) I'll post a
status update if I manage to fix the build.
I'm glad to know it :-) I'm happy to help if there's anything that
someone with no knowledge of the codebase might be usefully able to do...
Cheers,
Giles
