Trouble compiling mono from source via cygwin on windows - compilation

Question

I work off my i: drive
I've downloaded the following mono source file mono-2.11.2.tar.bz2
I've installed the windows version of mono v2.11.2 to "I:\Mono-2.11.2"
I installed cygwin as per the following instructions found on the following webpage http://shana.worldofcoding.com/en/mono_cygwin_tutorial.html
I replaced the "make.exe" with the one from the mono website as per instruction. I had to get one more file "cygintl-2.dll" which resides in cygwin package libintl2/libintl2-0.12.1-3
I added the following my .bashrc file. I had to change "c/Mono-2.11.2/bin" to "i/Mono-2.11.2/bin"
PATH=.:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/cygdrive/i/Mono-2.11.2/bin
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=.:/lib/pkgconfig:/cygdrive/i/Mono-2.11.2/lib/pkgconfig
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/lib:/cygdrive/i/Mono-2.11.2/lib
export PATH PKG_CONFIG_PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH
I placed my mono source under the folder specified: /usr/src/mono/
So my dirs looks like:
i:
i:\cygwin\
i:\cygwin\usr\src\mono
i:\cygwin\usr\src\mono\mono
i:\cygwin\usr\src\mono\mcs etc etc
i:\Mono-2.11.2\bin etc
Now the instructions says I must change dirs to /usr/src/mono/mono and run "./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local" from the cygwin terminal
However that doesnt work. Running the above command from /usr/src/mono/ works fine.
Now heres the problem. The next instruction is to run "make". However this comes up with :
$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
I even tried running it from the /usr/src/mono/mono dir. Still no luck.
Can someone please suggest what I should do to be able to build the mono source on windows 7?
Update:
I needed to install the **gnu c++ compiler (g++)**. I just ran the cygwin setup again, searched for g++ and installed that. The autogen.sh ran to completion

The last lines of ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local output should
look like bellow with Now type make to compile at the end. And it
generats Makefile in the same directory.
I think in your case ./autogen.sh failed. You can keep a log file
and check what it is complaining about.
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local 2>&1 | tee autogen.log
More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_build_system
The end of the ./autogen.sh ouptut:
config.status: executing quiet-libtool commands
config.status: executing default commands
mcs source: mcs
olive source:
Engine:
GC: sgen and bundled Boehm GC with typed GC and parallel mark
TLS: __thread
SIGALTSTACK: yes
Engine: Building and using the JIT
oprofile: no
BigArrays: no
DTrace: no
LLVM Back End: no (dynamically loaded: no)
Libraries:
Moon Profile: no (boehm)
MonoDroid: no
MonoTouch: no
Mobile: no
JNI support: IKVM Native
libgdiplus: assumed to be installed
zlib: system zlib
Now type `make' to compile
