Arch Linux User Repository

According to the issue described by kingkhan94, https://github.com/mono/monodevelop/issues/8006, for the last year or so MonoDevelop 8.0 has not been buildable on anything but Mac. The community has created a fork for a new environment at https://github.com/dotdevelop/dotdevelop.

MonoDevelop (8.X) no loger compile in Linux (only Mac)...

https://github.com/mono/monodevelop/issues/8006

"Embrace, extend, and extinguish!" (EEE) =[

Possible solution is using https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/monodevelop-bin/ .

Install using pamac following packages

• monodevelop-bin
• mono-msbuild
• mono-msbuild-sdkresolver

Hope this helps!

UPDATE: Install xps to easily debug web projects (ASP.NET)...

Yet another tip.

The script /usr/bin/monodevelop is not valid for Arch.

The environment variables created contains invalid paths.

A working script goes like this

#!/usr/bin/env bash

#Workaround for Unity gnome shell
export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0

# Ubuntu overlay scrollbars are not working well with the 1px boundaries in the monodevelop shell
export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0

# The Oxygen GTK theme crashes unless this is set
export OXYGEN_DISABLE_INNER_SHADOWS_HACK=1

# Add our bin/ to LD_LIBRARY_PATH so we can override system libs with bundles
### correct LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/monodevelop/bin/:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"

#this script should be in $PREFIX/bin
MONO_EXEC="exec -a monodevelop mono-sgen"
### correct EXE_PATH
EXE_PATH="/usr/lib/monodevelop/bin/MonoDevelop.exe"

_MD_REDIRECT_LOG="${MD_REDIRECT_LOG:-${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/MonoDevelop/log}"

if [ -n "$_MD_REDIRECT_LOG" ]; then
    mkdir -p `dirname "$_MD_REDIRECT_LOG"`
    $MONO_EXEC $MONO_OPTIONS "$EXE_PATH" $* 2>&1 | tee "$_MD_REDIRECT_LOG"
else
    $MONO_EXEC $MONO_OPTIONS "$EXE_PATH" $*
fi

If I missed something please say so.

Thanks @jenic.

I will update that on next release.

Unfortunately lots of packages in the AUR that don't have the base build tools as dependencies.

Not a huge deal but package also requires:

pkgconf, autoconf, automake

but those are not explicit dependencies. I should have had those anyway, but turns out most packages I make don't need them so I never noticed. shrug

@Sodden's December 19th comment solved the issue that I've struggled to find a solution for for two years, now: The compiler complains that: namespace name 'TreeModel' does not exist in the namespace 'Gtk' (are you missing an assembly reference?) until I removed gtk-sharp-3 which had no dependencies. Thanks much!

This does not compile if gtk-sharp-3 is installed. Took me a couple of tries to figure that one out -.-.

Edit: I had both gtk-sharp-2 and gtk-sharp-3 installed and it only picked up (auto-detected?) the later.

@backerman current version is 7.8.0.338 and you flagged as out of date because 7.6.9.22 is out? Removing flag.

@TemplarGR Corrected

This PKGBUILD has release version 1 but AUR reports version 2 so AUR helpers constantly prompt for an update even though we have the latest version installed...

UE4 compiles much faster than this program on my computer

This doesn't build when /bin/sh is the dash shell because it uses the pushd bashism. This project should use either SHELL=/bin/bash or #!/bin/bash in any .sh files.
