Hmm, it looks like you haven't built all of it.
(Either that, or if you have then perhaps some parts of it are not being
included in the path defined in the .cfg file, but I think the former
explanation is more likely.)

You should only need to add references to the mercury.dll assembly,
I believe.

The `private_builtin__c_code' class is supposed to be defined
in the C++ file private_builtin__c_code.cpp that gets generated
when you compile library/private_builtin.m with `--il'.
private_builtin__c_code.cpp needs to be compiled with MSVC++.

In release 0.10, I think all of these things are supposed to be built
automatically and included in the `mercury' assembly which is defined
in mercury.dll when you do `MMAKE_DIR=../scripts mmake GRADE=ilc'
in the library directory.

See library/Mmakefile:

	# al is the assembly linker, it will create an assembly that references
	# all the modules (.dll files) in the library and runtime.
	mercury.dll: $(ALL_DLLS)
		$(MS_AL) -out:mercury.dll $(ALL_DLLS)

Do you have `mercury.dll'?
How about `private_builtin__c_code.dll' and `private_builtin__c_code.cpp'?

No, the assembly is supposed to be created (in mercury.dll) by al.exe.

I think the error messages here are consistent with you not having
mercury.dll or not telling the C# compiler to link it in.
