            I can build it and use to edit ATS dats file.

            I have a question for the plugin.
            Where is a correct location for MonoDevelop.ATSBinding.dll?
            I selected MonoDevelop.ATSBinding/MonoDevelop.ATSBinding.sln, and build all.
            Then I got DLLs at the following PATH.

            >  ./MonoDevelop.ATSBinding/bin/Debug/MonoDevelop.ATSBinding.dll
            >  ./MonoDevelop.ATSBinding/obj/Debug/MonoDevelop.ATSBinding.dll

            However, mdtool did not find the DLLs.

            Is it a correct build flow?

Hi Kiwamu,

How did you get Mono-3 and MonoDevelop-5? You built them
from source on your own?

Well, I think I've documented the setup correctly (in README.txt). There are two steps:

1. build (via MD), and pack (via mdtool command-line utility)
2. plug into MD
 

            > $ find . -name "*.dll"
            >  ./MonoDevelop.ATSBinding/bin/Debug/MonoDevelop.ATSBinding.dll

This is the correct location. This directory (/MonoDevelop.ATSBinding.addin.xml) needs to be supplied to mdtool setup pack, which creates a plugin package.
 

            >  ./MonoDevelop.ATSBinding/obj/Debug/MonoDevelop.ATSBinding.dll

            However, mdtool did not find the DLLs.

            > $ mdtool setup pack MonoDevelop.ATSBinding/MonoDevelop.ATSBinding.addin.xml

Yeah, it should be:

$ mdtool setup pack MonoDevelop.ATSBinding/bin/Debug/MonoDevelop.ATSBinding.addin.xml

I'm new to this stuff.

            Is it a correct build flow?

Well, somebody (Sylvain Nahas?) remarked in MD wiki that it is possible to symlink bin/Debug directory in some other directory that is scanned by MD at startup for plugins. Then it wouldn't be necessary to install the plugin by hand. That didn't work for me, so I resorted to building a package and installing it by hand.
 

            Thank's!!!

You are welcome!

I just type "apt-get install monodevelop" on Debian sid.

Hi Hongwei, Kiwamu,

I managed to compile a parallel Mono environment and MonoDevelop from sources, but it's very hard to do (usually it fails for me).

Thankfully, the Mono project started publishing Linux binary packages:

http://www.mono-project.com/download/#download-lin

I've installed the Wheezy packages as described there. Things seem to work fine.
