I've compiled gettext for Windows using cygwin, using --enable-csharp=csc (and
csc.exe is in the PATH).

The first thing I noted is that some of the csharp-related tests are skipped.

For example I have:

Skipping test: C# engine not found
SKIP msgunfmt-csharp-1 (exit status: 77)


Please remark that I extracted the gettext tarball under cygwin with tar xzf
..., and I have:

$ ls -l /src/gettext-0.22.5a/gettext-tools/m4/csharpexec-test.exe
-rw-r--r-- 1 miche miche 2560 11 mag  2019
/src/gettext-0.22.5a/gettext-tools/m4/csharpexec-test.exe

$ /src/gettext-0.22.5a/gettext-tools/m4/csharpexec-test.exe
bash: /src/gettext-0.22.5a/gettext-tools/m4/csharpexec-test.exe: Permission
denied


If I do

$ chmod +x /src/gettext-0.22.5a/gettext-tools/m4/csharpexec-test.exe

then:

$ /src/gettext-0.22.5a/gettext-tools/m4/csharpexec-test.exe
$ echo $?
0


So, I guess that TESTCSHARP is set to no because of that (so, tests aren't
performed).

But the main problem is that msgfmt doesn't correctly relocate the path of
GNU.Gettext.dll.

I used the "/installed" prefix in cygwin, then invoked this command in a
"normal" (non cygwin) Windows shell:

msgfmt.exe --csharp -l it -d . it.po -vvv

I have this output:
