Building Mono from source

[Nicko Cadell <ni...@neoworks.com>]

Gert,

Are you building Mono from source on Windows? I was trying to follow the
very simple instructions on http://www.mono-project.com/Compiling_Mono
using the latest version of the source from
http://mono.ximian.com/daily. I ran into to a problem during the make
phase, after about an hour I get the following error. Do you have any
ideas what I may have done wrong?

make[8]: Entering directory
`/cygdrive/c/work/rnd/mono/head/mono-1.1.10.20051214/mcs/class/Microsoft
.Build.Engine'

make[8]: *** No rule to make target
`../Microsoft.Build.Framework/Mono.XBuild.Framework/AssemblyLoadInfo.cs'
, needed by `../../class/lib/net_2_0/Microsoft.Build.Engine.dll'.  Stop.

make[8]: Leaving directory
`/cygdrive/c/work/rnd/mono/head/mono-1.1.10.20051214/mcs/class/Microsoft
.Build.Engine'


Cheers

I gave up building Mono on Windows a while ago, when the Mono team decided
to no longer use csc to compile the Mono class libraries.

Before that, I used to build Mono on Windows to catch code constructs that
were consider invalid by csc but compiled fine using mcs.

I'm trying to build Mono on Windows right now. I'll let you know how that
does.
