Hi.  I'm trying to port an app built with Visual Studio.  It's a Windows
service app, but we can modify that or refactor it if necessary.  My
problem is that I've successfully built the app, but it doesn't run and
I can't seem to get any sort of dev env or debugger running.  I've tried
to run through all the various attempts at getting mono.develop to work,
and other than 3 days worth of builds, I have not much to show for it.
And it also seems that even those who have gotten mono.develop to work
have it crashing all the time.  So I guess my questions are:

=20

1)       Is there a working debugger for mono on the Mac?  How do I get
it?  Fink?  Martin's 0.9 release with some magic incantation? (it
complains about a missing mach-o.c now)

2)       If you were going to make small edits to a VS based project,
what would you do?  Emacs & nant?  XCode?

3)       Less important: I must have a whole mess of junk now from all
my fink installs, builds, etc.  I haven't a clue where all this stuff is
littered over the drive.  Other than fink remove and deleting my build
dirs, how could I "start over" with mono related stuff?

Thanks, sorry if this is too newbie, but if I can't find it on google
I'll venture that at least I'm not a total idiot. :-)
