[Mono-dev] Recommended software setup to develop and contribute C# code to Mono

[Greg Najda]

I get the same problem with MonoDevelop after installing from source to
/usr/local. MonoDevelop 2.8.6.3 on KUbuntu 12.04.

I'm also interested in hearing about development workflow for
mscorlib.because I'm tackling some bugs myself.
