Mono (A Free C# Compiler)

I installed mono on my laptop earlier, and it installed a command prompt application to compile my C# programs.

The problem is; I use cygwin for my C compiling and ssh-ing into the University servers. SO obviously I wanted mono installed in cygwin.

Luckily I found a way to do it:

1. Download the mono for windows installer
2. Run the installer, and select your cygwin folder for the installation directory (in my case this was C:\cygwin)
3. Install
4. Open cygwin and type "mcs" without quotes, and if it's installed correctly it should spit back a load of rubbish about no files at you.

Hope this helped anybody who was struggling to do this.
