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

[Martin Thwaites]

Hi Timotheus,

I'm pretty sure it's not the mono install that's old..

martin at vb-1:~$ mono --version
Mono JIT compiler version 3.10.1 (master/2817936 Wed Sep 17 23:22:38 BST
2014)

I simply changed it to a class from struct, and removed the call to this()
and it compiled fine.  Not sure if there are any long term effects of that
though.

Thanks,
Martin
