I downloaded Download Mono 64-bit (no GTK #) from the link - https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/ I have installed

Used:

Question. Where is the shortcut to launch the program?

Dadoum commented 3 years ago

You need to download and install GtkSharp, build monodevelop with the tutorial on the monodevelop website but keep in mind that you can't build any version that is higher to monodevelop 7 since they broke the repo by using private repos and breaking support for Windows and Linux.

how do i get the files of the last working version

Dadoum commented 3 years ago

After execution ended, you should have a folder named MonoDevelop.

MonoDevelop should now open.

Pa3ckP7 commented 3 years ago

@Dadoum i would say that it worked but it didnt image

Dadoum commented 3 years ago

Try with monodevelop-7.8.4.1 branch.

and retry building.

If it doesn't work, you can continue ti go down version in tags. It should work at some point.

Pa3ckP7 commented 3 years ago

Im just gona say that i dropped way to many versions already i went down to the 1st v6 one and still no luck

Dadoum commented 3 years ago

If installing MonoDevelop 6 is not a problem, you can install XamarinStudio 6 beta for Windows, which is a fork of monodevelop 6 and since it is an installer it will configure everything for you

Pa3ckP7 commented 3 years ago

I might actually not need monodevelop i though to try it since i had trouble porting with mono but i resolved the issue

You can use the MSI package to install on Windows.

Cataurus commented 3 years ago

With this package, the creation of a new project does not work. There is an exception. Unfortunately, also about your fork no new build of the msi package works. For the version 7.6.9.22, it is now possible to build a package. It is available here.

Update: also for version 7.8.4

lextm commented 3 years ago

@Cataurus Your repo removed all history on the source code, which makes it difficult to reuse (as other community members are working on a fork at dotdevelop). Anyway, the 7.x versions are not the primary target to revive MonoDevelop, as 8.x introduces too many new things. If you like you can take a look at https://github.com/dotdevelop/dotdevelop/issues/33

Cataurus commented 3 years ago

@lextm I have modified the base so that the changes can be made. Unfortunately, the structure of this repository does not make it easy.

It is also now extended that you can build the version 7.8.4 under windows. This is also interesting for others, who first want to work into the structure of the IDE.

As I also noticed, the submodule of your repository is also no longer accessible, so that this build unfortunately can no longer be reproduced.

Unfortunately, at dotdevelop the priority is currently only on Ubuntu, as I understand it and unfortunately also takes over the overly complex structure of the repository.
