[MonoDevelop] Building MonoDevelop on FreeBSD 10.3

Hello,

Mhm, this looks like a lot of unnecessary gymnastics.

Perhaps the core question is: why is this failing to build for you?   I would try to get to the root of the problem instead of using band aids.

Internally, some of our team members have continued to do all their MonoDevelop/Mono work in Linux, and none of this is necessary.

    I am also trying to build MonoDevelop 6 for Linux, especially for Fedora.
    
    My current attempts are here:
    https://github.com/tpokorra/lbs-mono-fedora/blob/master/monodevelop/monodevelop.spec
    
    These are my commands to change RefactoringEssentials.csproj to not target PCL:
    # do not depend on .NET Portable reference assemblies
    RefactoringEssentials=external/RefactoringEssentials/RefactoringEssentials/RefactoringEssentials.csproj
    sed -i "s#<NoStdLib>true</NoStdLib>#<NoStdLib>false</NoStdLib>#g"
    $RefactoringEssentials
    sed -i "s#<TargetFrameworkProfile>Profile7</TargetFrameworkProfile>##g"
    $RefactoringEssentials
    sed -i "s#.*Microsoft\.VsSDK\.targets.*##g" $RefactoringEssentials
    sed -i "s#.*Microsoft\.Portable\.CSharp\.targets.*##g" $RefactoringEssentials
    sed -i 's#</Project>#<Import
    Project="\$\(MSBuildBinPath\)\\Microsoft.CSharp.Targets"
    />\n</Project>#g' $RefactoringEssentials
    sed -i 's#</Project>#<ItemGroup>\n<Reference
    Include="System.Xml"/>\n<Reference Include="System"/>\n<Reference
    Include="System.Xml.Linq"/>\n</ItemGroup></Project>#g'
    $RefactoringEssentials
    
    By the way, I build a monodevelop tarball with this script and patches
    on Ubuntu 14.04:
    https://github.com/tpokorra/lbs-mono/tree/master/monodevelop-tarball
    I patched make dist to also download and include all the nuget
    packages required.
    MonoDevelop.PackageManagement.Tests
    (main/src/addins/MonoDevelop.PackageManagement/MonoDevelop.PackageManagement.Tests/MonoDevelop.PackageManagement.Tests.csproj)
    uses a binary external\nuget-binary\NuGet.ProjectManagement.dll which
    is compiled against a specific version 6.0 of Newtonsoft.Json which
    needs to be fetched from NuGet.
    
    I was able to build an rpm on the weekend, but that was with using all
    the prebuilt binaries, which is not acceptable for inclusion into the
    official Fedora repositories. I wonder how to build the roslyn
    binaries on Mono, and other binaries from nuget. I wonder if we need
    to get a build of msbuild for Linux?
    
    But even with that rpm, I could not install it, because it required
    mono(System.Web.Mvc) = 5.2.3.0
    So I still need to patch that out, I guess.
    
    I hope we can benefit from each others work, and get MonoDevelop 6
    running on various Linuxes and BSDs.
