Mono/Cygwin Issue?

Question

I am trying to remove the dependencies of my .net app by using mono and cygwin.

For more info look here.

I installed all the packages, gcc, gcc-core, as.

Then I navigated to my vb.net application with the cygwin terminal. I tried to merge all the dependencies with this command:

mkbundle -o Mono/MsgBox.exe MsgBox.exe --deps -z

The application itself is just a simple module displaying a MessageBox. When I now hit enter in the Cygwin Console to merge the .net framework dependencies, it starts merging...

and then it gives me this error:

I already did some research, and found out that this has something to do with the new MinGW compiler, and its possible to change the settings somehow.

The MsgBox app itself works fine, I only want to merge the dependencies as explained in the tutorial above.

Can someone please explain me how I can fix this compiling error?

Check if you have downloaded cygwin 64 bit and your application is 32 bit. I have faced this error and downloaded cygwin 32 now everything works fine. Please let me know if this was helpful :)
