on this part of the project.
- The code for the C# compiler as well as the language error
- test suite and the class library are in the `mcs' package, we
- will move this later into `mono' itself.
-
- In order to make mcs and the class libraries you will need a computer
- running Windows with the <strong>GNU make tools</strong> from the
- <strong>Cygwin</strong> environment, <strong>Microsoft's .NET Framework
- SDK</strong>, <strong>GLIB 1.3</strong> and
- <strong>pkg-config</strong>.
-
- When installing Cygwin, don't forget to include
- <tt>mingw-runtime</tt>. If you omit this, you will encounter
- configure problems regarding not being able to generate
- executables.
