The MonoDevelop core is also the foundation for Visual Studio for Mac.Feel free to file bugs against Visual Studio for Mac here as well.

See http://www.monodevelop.com for more info.

Directory organization

There are two main directories:

• main: The core MonoDevelop assemblies and add-ins (all in a singletarball/package).
• extras: Additional add-ins (each add-in has its owntarball/package).

Compiling

If you are building from Git, make sure that you initialize the submodulesthat are part of this repository by executing:git submodule update --init --recursive

If you are running a parallel mono installation, make sure to run all the following stepswhile having sourced your mono installation script. (source path/to/my-environment-script)See: http://www.mono-project.com/Parallel_Mono_Environments

To compile execute:./configure ; make

MonoDevelop is a full-featured integrated development environment (IDE) for mono using Gtk#. The MonoDevelop core is also the foundation for Visual Studio for Mac. Feel free to file bugs against Visual Studio for Mac here as well. MonoDevelop is a free GNOME IDE primarily designed for C# and other.NET languages, although open to any kind of language. However, MonoDevelop hopes to be more than just an IDE: it intends to be an extensible platform upon which any kind of development tool can be built.

There are two variables you can set when running configure:

• The install prefix: --prefix=/path/to/prefix

  • To install with the rest of the assemblies, use:--prefix='pkg-config --variable=prefix mono'

• The build profile: --profile=profile-name

  • stable: builds the MonoDevelop core and some stable extra add-ins.
  • core: builds the MonoDevelop core only.
  • all: builds everything
  • mac: builds for Mac OS X

PS: You can also create your own profile by adding a file to the profiles directory containing a list of the directories to build.

Disclaimer: Please be aware that the 'extras/JavaBinding' and 'extras/ValaBinding' packages do not currently work. When prompted or by manually selecting them during the './configure --select' step, make sure they stay deselected. (deselected by default)

Running

You can run MonoDevelop from the build directory by executing:make run

Debugging

You can debug MonoDevelop using Visual Studio (on Windows or macOS) with themain/Main.sln solution. Use the DebugWin32 configuration on Windows and theDebugMac configuration on macOS.

Installing (Optional)

You can install MonoDevelop by running:make install

Bear in mind that if you are installing under a custom prefix, you may need to modify your /etc/ld.so.conf or LD_LIBRARY_PATH to ensure that any required native libraries are found correctly.

(It's possible that you need to install for your locale to becorrectly set.)

Packaging for OS X

To package MonoDevelop for OS X in a convenient MonoDevelop.appfile, just do this after MonoDevelop has finished building (withmake): cd main/build/MacOSX ; make app.You can run MonoDevelop: open MonoDevelop.app or build dmg package: ./make-dmg-bundle.sh

Dependencies

Special Environment Variables

BUILD_REVISION

Known Problems

This happens when you accidentally installed gtk-sharp3 instead of the 2.12.x branch version.Make sure to 'make uninstall' or otherwise remove the gtk-sharp3 version and install the older one.

xbuild may still cache a reference to assemblies that you may have accidentally installed into your mono installation,like the gtk-sharp3 as described before. You can delete the cache in $HOME/.config/xbuild/pkgconfig-cache-2.xml
