== MonoDevelop ==

MonoDevelop is the IDE for the Xamarin Mono project. It was initially created as a fork of #develop.

It has its own site at http://www.monodevelop.com/

We have an add-in to provide Cobra support including syntax highlighting, compilation and interactive debugging:

== Windows Users ==

If you are running 64-bit Windows, you'll need to install Cobra targeting the x86 platform.  See the addin installation instructions for details.

== Mac Users ==

When running install.cobra, I get this error:
{{{
Failed!
 $ /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Commands/pkg-config --libs monodevelop
 | Package monodevelop was not found in the pkg-config search path.
 | Perhaps you should add the directory containing `monodevelop.pc'
 | to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
 | No package 'monodevelop' found
Compilation failed - 1 error, 0 warnings
}}}

I'm guessing that building MonoDevelop on the Mac in question could resolve this, but haven't tested that guess yet:

== Ubuntu Users ==

If you're on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and using MonoDevelop 2.8, you can either update to MonoDevelop 3.0 via this PPA:
 * PPA: https://launchpad.net/~keks9n/+archive/monodevelop-latest
{{{
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:keks9n/monodevelop-latest
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install monodevelop
}}}

Build the latest MonoDevelop from source:
 * https://github.com/mono/monodevelop

Or you can download a snapshot of the 2.8 addin code:
