The supported way is Cygwin. The docs are old but not fully outdated. If you're following these docs carefully, you should end up with a successful build: http://shana.worldofcoding.com/en/mono_cygwin_tutorial.html This is build variant which requires less dependencies than the official and outdated "bootstrap" build documented here: http://www.mono-project.com/Compiling_Mono_on_Windows Do not install gcc 4. Install gcc 3 instead. This is documented on http://www.mono-project.com/Compiling_Mono_on_Windows. If it doesn't work for you then please provide error messages, config logs, the exact steps you've done so far etc. Just stating that "it fails" doesn't help us help you ;) Cygwin's "fatal error - unable to remap" issue is nothing *we* can do about. Try another machine, disable virus scanners etc. Robert _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
