[MonoDevelop] Building MonoDevelop on FreeBSD 10.3

Mon Aug 15 18:32:46 UTC 2016

Sorry for the top post, I've lost all frame of reference. I just
realized I was only getting messages in digest format so I was missing
bug chunks of the conversation.

@Timotheus - Please see my solution to the missing PCL libraries in
the prior message. I'd very much like to see us work in tandem and
bring MonoDevelop up to snuff. I will share out the file in a tar
archive from github.com/freebsd-dotnet as soon as I get a chance. I'm
kindof upset at Microsoft for doing such a poor job providing cross
reference materials for other platforms (Really MS? A binary exe
installer that produces a non-compliant zip file? Not awesome). Mr.
Icaza even had a blog post exclaiming it as a step forward. Hopefully
these things will become more transparent with (my assumed) merging of
frameworks around .Net Core (which is why I am trying to get
prepared!).

@Mikayla - I was pretty sure that I am using the most recent version
of F# (4.4.10?). I will go back and double check as maybe this will
point me to another blunder. Thanks again.

@Miguel - As Timotheus has pointed out, it has been some time since I
have been able to build from source. I think I was able to build from
a patched head sometime around 8-9 months ago, but everything has been
broken since then. FreeBSD is now on Mono 4.4.2 so I have renewed my
interest in trying to get MD running.
