[Mono-dev] Build fails: name `AllowReversePInvokeCallsAttribute' does not exist

[Eberhard Beilharz]

Did you have a look at the README file? In section "c. Building the
software from GIT" it lists several options. The recommended way is to
install the latest released packages for your distribution for building
mono from git, but there are also instructions if you don't  have a
working Mono installation.
