Hi all, I have been trying to figure out as to how exactly does the mono code run over Cygwin, which happens to be a windows program. I was not surprised to find out that the entire mono code has been made keeping Glib in mind and that the glib which is shipped for Windows actually uses the Windows API's. (same for iconv and intl).
I even tried to write a small code in Microsoft Visual Studio which uses only <glib.h>, glib functions/datatypes and the glib-2.0.lib + libglib-2.0-0.dll and it works fine. Does this mean that if I try to build the mono code from Microsoft Visual Studio taking care of all the dependencies, it ought to give me mono.exe/mint.exe at the end. I have found that the <windows.h> (from /include/w32api) which has been used within the mono code might try to be a stepping stone for the process. If that (plus the dependency on some other *linux* header files is resolved), would building mint/mono on Microsoft Visual Studio be a healthy exercise or am I just breaking my head against the wall. :-) I would like to know if there is anyone who has tried this before/if it is possible or not?
