MonoDevelop is a full-featured integrated development environment (IDE) for mono
and Gtk#. See http://www.monodevelop.com for more info.

Directory organization
----------------------

	There are two main directories:

	  * main: The core MonoDevelop assemblies and add-ins (all in a single
	    tarball/package).
	  * extras: Additional add-ins (each add-in has its own
	    tarball/package).

Compiling
---------

	To compile execute:

	./configure
	make

	There are two variables you can set when running 'configure':

	  --prefix=/path/to/prefix: To set the install prefix.

	    you can use --prefix=`pkg-config --variable=prefix mono` to get MD
	    installed with the rest of mono/gtk-sharp/etc.

	  --profile=profile-name: To choose one build profile.
	
	There are some predefined profiles:

	  * stable: builds the MonoDevelop core and some stable extra add-ins.
	  * core: builds the MonoDevelop core only.
	  * all: builds everything

	You can create your own profiles if you need to. To create a profile you
	only have to add a file to the profiles directory containing a list
	of the directories to build.

	You can run MonoDevelop from the build directory without having to
	install it by executing:

	make run

Installing
----------

	Installing is currently optional.
	(Use make run to use MonoDevelop without installing.)

	make install

	(It's possible that you need to install for your locale to be
	correctly set.)
