[MonoDevelop] Referencing assemblies in GAC

[Rafael Teixeira]

Hi Paddy, complementing a bit

"Properly installed packages" mean those that install using gacutil
instructing it to leave the symbolic links to the assemblies that an
also needed specific pkg-config .pc file must point to. When this .pc
is installed where pkg-config expects (normally /usr/lib/pkgconfig/)
it also becomes available to MonoDevelop.

Example: gtk-sharp-2.0.pc
---------------
prefix=${pcfiledir}/../..
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
gapidir=${prefix}/share/gapi-2.0


Name: Gtk#
Description: Gtk# - GNOME .NET Binding
Version: 2.4.0
Cflags: -I:${gapidir}/pango-api.xml -I:${gapidir}/atk-api.xml
-I:${gapidir}/gdk-api.xml -I:${gapidir}/gtk-api.xml
Libs: -r:${libdir}/mono/gtk-sharp-2.0/pango-sharp.dll
-r:${libdir}/mono/gtk-sharp-2.0/atk-sharp.dll
-r:${libdir}/mono/gtk-sharp-2.0/gdk-sharp.dll
-r:${libdir}/mono/gtk-sharp-2.0/gtk-sharp.dll
Requires: glib-sharp-2.0
---------------

For MD the most important line in such .pc file is the one that begins
with "Libs:"

Hope it helps :),

As I'm currently working a lot with Java and even fixing Java VMs
(JamVM/Kaffe) and GNU Classpath code, I think I may partly borrow the
title (Javaman) from my friend Bruno Souza and become the
MonoNJavaMan. Yeah, I may currently be crazier than usual...
