Mono-D is a language binding for MonoDevelop for the D Programming language.
Few (none?) GNU/Linux distros package a new enough MonoDevelop required by Mono-D.
You can download pre-built binaries built with mono3 below. Unpack to /opt/mono.
- Setup MonoDevelop to use /opt/mono instead of other runtimes
- Open MonoDevelop
- Go to Edit -> Options -> Projects tab -> .NET Runtimes
- Enter /opt/mono as new runtime if it's not there already!
- Select it as standard runtime
- Now you can build Mono-D with its gtk-sharp dependencies and no Mono.Cairo conflicts
- Clone Mono-D
- Open a terminal in your projects folder
git clone https://github.com/aBothe/Mono-D.gitcd Mono-Dgit submodule initgit submodule update
- Build Mono-D
- Open & build the main solution
- Add symlinks from projectdir/Mono-D/bin/Debug/* to your MonoDevelop AddIns folder
cd /opt/mono/lib/monodevelop/AddInsln -s -d %YourProjectDirectory%/Mono-D/bin/Debug D
- In the solution view, open the MonoDevelop.D options -> Properties -> Run -> Custom Commands
- Choose Execute
- Set
/opt/mono/bin/monodevelopas executable - Working directory can be left empty
- Confirm via OK
- Press F5 to debug
- Clone Mono-D
- Open a git bash in your projects folder
git clone https://github.com/aBothe/Mono-D.gitcd Mono-Dgit submodule initgit submodule update
- Build Mono-D
- Open & build the main solution inside Visual Studio or Xamarin Studio (the latter is required to do changes on Gtk#-based Option Panels etc.)
- Add symlinks from projectdir/Mono-D/bin/Debug/* to your MonoDevelop AddIns folder
- Run the
make symlink.batthat is located inside the folder root
- Run the
- You might want to set a new default executable path to XamarinStudio.exe, but normally, this is not necessary if you've installed XS via the normal installer
- Run & Debug Mono-D
