[Mono-devel-list] trouble compiling debugger

[Jacques Beaurain]

One more thing, I forgot that I did not properly enable the debugger in 
MonoDevelop, you would have needed to do some manual compiling from the 
command line to get it all to fly. Here is a better way.

I re-enabled the debugger  properly by editing configure.in (patch 
attached).

remove the configure script and run ./autogen.sh.

Cheers,

Jacques
