Title: Message

not sure what it is, but I have been having this problem for the last month or so.

 

Apparently it has something to do with the Cygwin setup being crap.

 

It would be really nice if some one could make an image of all the required cygwin packages required to build mono on cygwin, so that newbies could go and download all the cygwin packages, do a local install and then get mono from cvs and build it using mono-build-w32.sh

Subject: [Mono-list] Mono build problem. Please Help

I am trying to build mono on my XP box, running cygwin.

 

I downloaded and installed the latest COMPLETE installation of cygwin. When trying to build mono I got the following error:

configure: error: Found libgc but not its header files! You may need to install
them by hand.

I tried installing on XP and  Win 2000, with the same result.

 

Does anyone know how to get around this issue?

 

Thanks
