Do you mean to compile Grammatica proper or to compile 
your own code using Grammatica? The steps one normally
takes for the latter are:

1. Run Grammatica on you .grammar file:

   java -jar grammatica-1.4.jar hello.grammar --csoutput .

   There are more options if you like something a bit
   less "vanilla".

2. Compile your code with the Grammatica library
   (plus the newly created parser code). With Mono
   this would be:

    mcs -lib:lib -reference:grammatica-1.4.dll -out:hello.exe
-main:MainClass -target:exe *.cs

   I suspect you can just replace "mcs" with "csc" to 
   have it work with the MS stuff.

3. Run your code. With Mono (again) this step is:

   mono hello.exe

   In Windows I think you can run the hello.exe 
   directly but I wouldn't know (not having Windows
   here to test on).

The above example assumes that the grammatica-1.4.dll
lives in the same directory as everything else. It is
normally a bad idea to put everything in a single
directory, but it made this example so much easier!

Hope this helps!

Cool! I will start publishing Grammatica grammars on 
the web site soon, so if you'd like to contribute 
you'd be very welcome!
