you right about cygwin/mingw. the cygwin distribution ships with the mingw libraries, and the mono build process throws the '-mno-cygwin' gcc switch which targets mingw. I'd recommend getting the whole cygwin setup, you'll get all the goodness plus integrated mingw support ;-) piers.

My fist question being that on the go-mono site there are alot of refrences to the cygwin compiler for compiling on win32 , I myself use a MingW gcc based compiler so its not dependant on and of the cygwin dll's ( witch i believe make the ending program slow becouse of the posix emulation ) , so the question is has anyone had any luck with compiling on win32 with MingW ( the specific compiler i use is http://www.mingw.org <http://www.mingw.org> , with GDB http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/ <http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/> Debuger and http://www.bloodshed.net <http://www.bloodshed.net> IDE all of witch are GPL on win32 ) hmmm i know there are some other things i will runinto along they way as I am a hardcore vb6 fan and am beging to catch onto c# and vb.net ( framework sdk ).
