Thanks.

Can anyone zip up their MonoDevelop folder and allow it to be
downloaded?

For the curious, I am using latest combined Mono windows installer which
at this time is 1.1.15_1.

I've taken a working gtksourceviewsharp and libgtksourceview from Paco's
Experimental Mono 1.1.13.1 windows installer.  Gtksourceview works with
his example PEditGtk2 text editor on windows.  You must download all 5
bin files and the 1 exe file for
mono-1.1.13-gtksharp-2.7.1-win32-exp-0.3 and you just run the exe to
start the installer.

I also downloaded his GeckoSharp that him and Zac Bowling worked on.  It
works too.  It is GRE-GeckoSharp-1.7.12-0.1.exe.

And I also downloaded the Evolution for Windows Installer.  This
installer contains the latest GNOME/gtk+ bits to get Evolution working
on Windows.  It is a technical preview though.  It works well.  However,
contacts do not seem to show up.  Refresh issue maybe?

CJ from IRC suggested I build MonoDevelop from svn.  So, I tried
building it on Cygwin. It kept failing in configure with macro
`AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT' not found.  If I installed Gettext and intltool
from Cygwin, then I would get this:

checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for UNMANAGED_DEPENDENCIES_MONO... checking for
UNMANAGED_DEPENDENCIES_
MINT... configure: error: Please install mono version 1.1.10 or later to
install
 MonoDevelop.
Please see http://www.mono-project.org/ to download latest mono sources
or packa
ges
rm: cannot remove `core': Is a directory

I tried faking out mint by copying mono.exe as mint.exe.  Mono Windows
installer does not include mint since mono on windows does not need it
anymore.

Any ideas?

I sure hope Paco and Zac get back into porting MonoDevelop again.  In
the meantime, I will try.
