[MonoDevelop] Error compiling from Source on monodevelop-5.0.1-branch

[Timotheus Pokorra]

Hello Martin,
I build monodevelop from master and the branches every night, on
Fedora, but it should work on other distros too:
http://lbs.solidcharity.com/package/tpokorra/mono-nightly/monodevelop-nightly
The sources for my build files are available here:
https://github.com/tpokorra/lbs-mono-nightly/tree/master/monodevelop-nightly

I also build on Ubuntu 14.04, but only the releases.
see https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/home:tpokorra:mono/monodevelop/xUbuntu_14.04/x86_64
The instructions for that are here:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:tpokorra:mono/monodevelop

If you follow the same instructions as the spec file or debian build
files, it should work...

I wonder if your Mono version is too old? Perhaps your Mono version
cannot deal with something new in the c# language that is used in that
line https://github.com/mono/xwt/blob/master/Xwt/Xwt/WidgetSpacing.cs#L51

hope this helps,
  Timotheus
