mono --aot error

[IMSurani]

I am getting this error while compiling simple c# helloworld program : mono --aot program.exe

Mono Ahead of Time compiler - compiling assembly D:\Surani\HelloWorld\program.exe AOTID 711E6D52-52CF-C036-BD22-EB3708478199 Compiled: 2/2 Executing the native assembler: "as" --32 -o C:\Users\Surani\AppData\Local\Temp \mono_aot_a13844.o C:\Users\Surani\AppData\Local\Temp\mono_aot_a13844 '"as"' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

You need the gnu tools (as/ld etc.) installed and in your PATH on windows. This will probably only work if you are running under cygwin/wls.

@vargaz thanks for this very useful info, but I am still not able to compile it and get below error.

My aim is to compile .Net IL into native Win32 to prevent from ILSpy.

@vargaz I tried but it still doesn't work. Does mono work with .net framework? Or is there a workaround for this?
