mcs

I could generate DLL and link it to the EXE as follows with Visual Studio (csc)

mcs /target:library /out:MathLibrary.DLL Add.cs Mult.cs
mcs /out:TestCode.exe /reference:MathLibrary.DLL TestCode.cs

But, with mono, I have to give the DLL info as follows.

mcs /out:TestCode.exe /reference:./MathLibrary.DLL TestCode.cs <--

Is this expected behavior? Is there any way to use just the name of DLL in mono?

Not sure if this is a silly question or not. Basically I'm figuring out how to run Mono on Linux, and I'm a Linux no0b. I've got everything up and running, but confused about fastcgi-mono-server.
