[Monodevelop-devel] Error when installing Language Binding from custom repository

[Tomas Petricek]

Hi,

>> Looks like this repository is not available anymore...
I moved the repository to another domain (and I forgot I sent a link
to the mailing list). The new URL is:
http://openfsharp.net/monodevelop/ (it still repros on my machine).

>> (MonoDevelop addins project)
I just tried compiling the F# project using an MSBUILD task that is
shipped with the F# installation and it looks like it should be
possible to use it on Mono. I'm getting an error that seems to be an
instance of this bug:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=565847 (the "targets" file
is attached just FYI - it certainly uses "ItemGroup" inside "Target").
Is this bug going to be fixed in some Mono version soon (it repros on
2.8)?

I'm not very familiar with MSBUILD, so I'll need to take more look at
that. Do you know about any easy workaround off hand?

Thanks!
Tomas
