actually this would be nice we could then build powershell as well, I wonder if we could compile dotnet from mono?

I've tried to build this, its more trouble than it's worth to try and build in MSYS2. Would require massive amount of patching.

because of path rewriting? or windows linux paths?

A little bit of everything. On Windows, it expects also the visual studio build tools, so you'd have to patch that to use what MSYS2 requires.

Reopened it. I know it's currently impossible, but let's not lose hope. What if, some time in the future, Microsoft would have a look at MSYS2 support? Very unlikely, but let's not lose hope 😆

Keep in mind. I never said it was impossible.

I think the best bet would be to start with dotnet 5 as it was still made with c++

Can we build this version of Mono without building the whole .NET runtime?

you do not need to build the whole .NET runtime only the subset that is required to run the compiler so that dotnet bootstrap itself
