I'm trying to follow the following post to build a c# app with mono embedded, using cygwin.
I am following the guide here: How to convert a simple .Net console project a into portable exe with Mono and mkbundle?
The error I am receiving is:
"gcc: the -mno-cygwin flag has been removed; use a mingw-targeted cross-compiler."
I'm unsure how to fix this - can anyone advise?
I'm using: Windows 7 x64, Mono 2.4.3, cygwin 7.1 beta (for Windows 7 support).
Thanks,
Frank
Have you tried updating to Mono 2.6.1? I successfully got a Windows Form application working using mkbundle on Win7 x64 using the following steps:
- Download Mono 2.6.1
- Downloaded cgywin 1.7.1
- Installed packages gcc-mingw, mingw-zlib and pkg-config for cgywin
- Started cgywin and edited .bashrc e.g. C:/progra~2/notepad++/notepad++ $HOME/.bashrc
- Added $HOME/.bashrc export PATH=$PATH:/cygdrive/c/progra~2/Mono-2.6.1/bin
- Added $HOME/.bashrc export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/cygdrive/c/progra~2/Mono-2.6.1/lib/pkgconfig
- Quit & restarted cygwin
- Changed directory to .Net application
- Compile the solution using xbuild
- Change directory to bin folder e.g. bin\Debug
- mkbundle -o Setup SetupForm.exe --deps -z
- Copied native mono dlls to bin\Debug folder (mono.dll, libglib-2.0-0.dll, libgthread-2.0-0.dll, zlib.dll)
I used a VPC running XP, cygwin 1.5 and all AOK
