Fully quoting Lluis Sanchez:
How to build MonoDevelop with Visual Studio in five easy steps:
- Install GTK# (get installer here)
- Install the Mono Libraries (get installer here)
- Get MonoDevelop from SVN
- Open main/Main.sln in Visual Studio
- Press F5
And for everyone completely clueless about the important fact in Lluis’ post: No, I haven’t just said “we need more Mono!! yeah!!!1 OMG PONNIES!!!111eleven”.
If you try to build GTK+ from a checkout (svn, git) in Ubuntu you will probably hit this:
/usr/bin/ld:.libs/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.ver:2: ignoring invalid character `\001′ in script
/usr/bin/ld:.libs/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.ver:2: syntax error in VERSION script
the solution is to export a C locale before building, like this:
LC_ALL=C make
Update 30/12/08: The real solution as pointed by Xan is to use bash instead of dash for sh, reconfigure the dash package and select “DO NOT WANT” when asked:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash
