[MonoDevelop] Building Monodevelop on OpenSolaris

[christian.hergert at gmail.com]

It was painful, yes. The makefiles took considerable massaging. Lots of  
missing references wrt MonoDevelop.Projects.Gui, Mono.Addins,  
MonoDevelop.Components, etc.

Funny thing is, before I got it to install correctly, I only had bits and  
pieces installed. (Like the core, and a few select addins). running  
MonoDevelop.exe with just those few worked just fine. But once the whole  
build got installed, the GLib issue started poping up.

Anyhow, that was really my first time building anything with opensolaris,  
so it will take me a bit longer to really grok their system.

rebuilding with the same environment, from same shell, I still had to  
manually edit makefiles, even though configure seems to find Mono.Addins  
properly. I had to change the offending Makefiles from:

wish I could figure that one out, it is *highly* annoying to build, edit,  
build, edit,... Also I would rather figure out the problem than writing a  
script to fix it, so if anyone has a clue as to why this would go wrong I  
am more than willing to dig deeper.

likely, since one can have different profiles, I should have a different  
one setup to do installs.
