monodevelop

[Ali M.]

Greetings all,

I have few questions

I just built the latest monodevelop,

I cloned it from github

And did a very basic and straight forward build

When I finally ran it, it didnt have any F# sharp support

This was odd to me, since their website clearly advertise F#

So most likely I did something wrong, please note

I am dont really have an experience building software from source

But I can confirm that at least

./configure --select

doesnt give an option to add fsharp support

So, can this be fixed?

And regardless

Does any one use monodevelop

It is known (and understandably) that the xamarin team

doesnt have linux on their customer list

they stated this on many ocassion

and they are a business after all

But considering this fact, does anyone use monodevelop

for fsharp development on linux

If not, what do you use, are there better options

I think emacs have some support, but emacs is tough

I also think atom.io have some fsharp support, but i dont know how good it is

So please advise

Thank you

Ali

Hi Ali,

Xamarin Studio and MonoDevelop has what is arguably the best support for F#, even better than Visual Studio. 

But the F# support is built as a plugin, so you may need to clone and build that separately. If you just download MonoDevelop/Xamarin Studio, then it comes in the box. 

The plugin lives here: https://github.com/fsharp/xamarin-monodevelop-fsharp-addin

If you use Windows or Osx then F# support is included as part of the build, you don't have to install a plugin at all, with linux though you would have to ./configure && make install from the main/external/fsharpbinding folder.
