[MonoDevelop] Running monodevelop locally

[Rafael Teixeira]

We use the autotools generated Makefiles to develop MD, mainly because
mds/mdp files aren't up to the task, yet. Work is being done on
supportting autotools (a plugin) directly inside MD, to make it able
to develop it with itself.

For now, on the console you should run ".configure.sh
--prefix=/usr/local" and then "make && sudo make instal"l, and you
will end up with another MD in the /usr/local/bin, or use another
prefix different from the one MD is currently installed for Ubuntu.
Just create another Desktop launcher for this new MD to use it.


Fun,

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...
