[MonoDevelop] MonoDevelop on Win32

Hello Everyone!
 
I am trying to build MonoDevelop on Windows.  I am having difficulting.
 
If anyone has gotten it to build and run, can you please email this list explaining what you did to get it to work?  I so much want it to run on Windows.
 
I do know Zac Bowling over a year ago got it to work, but it was un-deployable.  Paco got it to work, but he didn't get past the Splash screen.   I heard someone named Tak got it to load up stetic and such.
 
For me,  I have got it to build, but my mono, gtk#, and cygwin environment is like a big junk yard.  It's not something reproducible nor nothing you would want to deploy.  I did get it to run with the splash screen popping, but it eventually fails.
 
I did notice it still uses unix domain sockets even though there is a --ipc-tcp option when running MonoDevelop.  Once you change that to a TCP InterNetwork socket, it runs the splash screen.

The UNMANAGED_DEPENDENCIES_MONO I had earlier was because pkg-config could not find my mono.pc file.  This was resolved by setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point where my .pc files are located.  For me this was: 
 
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/cygdrive/g/MonoX-1.1.13.1/lib/pkgconfig

I was able to verify this would work by:
 
pkg-config --cflags --libs mono
 
Thanks,
Daniel

There are going to be lots of little things like this, I would recommend
building on linux until you get it working, then you can use md to build
itself.

This means it was not able to find your mono installation.
make sure mono is in your PATH

Ignore the mint stuff, it only falls back to that if it can't find mono.
(from the early Max OSX days).
