doesn't build / binaries don't work

[ghost]

tried: binaries..........Failed
tried: build...............Failed

alternatives:
go............................Nope
rust..........................Nope
c++..........................Nope
visual studio............I'm seeing this pattern with stuff not working anymore ever since the xamarin / microsoft merger so nope.
Emacs.....................Nope, don't want faux intellisense want monodevelop or visual studio.

Guess I'm retiring here guys thanks for everything.

DO NOT respond to this ticket and say that you don't know what the problem is go try any one of the acceptable options (binaries avail on monodevelop.com, or just frankly try
git cloning it and compiling it, whatever mono packages you need whatever distro none of its any good anymore just delete it.

"DO NOT respond to this ticket"? This is an open source project, not a commercial product from Microsoft, so what you wrote above isn't a "support ticket", and Microsoft is unlikely to respond.

Check out https://github.com/dotdevelop/dotdevelop, where the latest code base can compile on major Linux distributions. Its CI steps are what you can follow.

ok fair I didn't know that "dotdevelop was a thing" but

• it still doesn't build for me
• I ... dude... I don't want to even compile it let alone read howto. My point was more that it used to be an outlet for me to interface with the language C# and actually build things that interface with the real world. I don't wanna learn go I don't wanna learn rust I don't care about intellij idea or goland or spacemacs I already know I don't want to (learn) use them because I already know C#

So I kinda made do with this:
docker run -it --rm -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -u $(id -u) -v $PWD:/home/toor --workdir /home/toor --dns 4.2.2.2 -e HOME=/home/toor monodevelop but this is sad and as I'm sure as you can imagine still broken (tab indentation on anonymous functions is broken and it randomly crashes.) But OK so dotdevelop so like why are there not like just suse packages since it isn't trivial to build? Nobody has yet? I can make travis-ci run docker containers last I checked would it be beneficial to have build automation? Seems like it should be but I don't who cares if I'm the only one complaining, I don't want to learn another language though just for the fuck of it and I'd sooner just settle for writing PHP or Python but TBH PHP is at least consistently usable for me since 5.

Sad choices I know but understand from my perspective go and rust are both bullshit, what little margin they have for solving problems that C# can't solve is so inconsequential, they offer less structure simply because using a more structured language like C# or LINQ the "right" way is a steeper learning curve (great so throw a bunch of shit into files, call files classes modules, or cargo or whatever, maybe use them interchangeably like you would a namespace, and oh introduce the concept of a "public namespace for the hell of it) it just pisses me off, literally nobody in my situation would use C# to be creative the way that I would like to, all of the people in my life who code use go or rust which is evidently better for reasons that I just can't understand.

but yet here I am trying to use (compile) an IDE and I'm the only one who thinks its a little suspicious that nobody really seems to care like this, also, what a joke rust and go programmers (println debuggers) lol, I don't know though joke must be on me...

Another thing i was gonna say, I did get farther with the compile but there's so many external dependencies, building with the gnome profile...
build.log

attached build log but the error seems specific to mac sdks (gnome profile?)

looking at the error closer

but if this isn't specified..

I mean I really would just rather stick to solving real problems that way if building dotdevelop has to be this perilous. And, the number of external dependencies is really discouraging. I don't know if they're locked or if that's some brilliant attempt to apply continuous integration to a project that people are obviously doing the up keep for

This repo is out of maintenance (or dead), and I covered more background in https://blog.lextudio.com/the-end-of-monodevelop-80b383dab34b . So wishing to use its prebuilt binaries or compile from code is doomed to be difficult (unless you are quite familiar with the code base).

dotdevelop is a community initiative to revive the code base at least for Linux and like I said, only enabling the code to compile on certain Linux distributions. Again if you are not quite familiar with Linux and the code base yet, it will be a long way to go and have your first successful build of the code. You might get some help from dotdevelop repo or Discord channel, but not here.
