Just to let you know that MonoDevelop’s Autotools deployment projects now allow you to add specific switch for the configure script.
Let’s say for instance that you want to enable at compile time a specific feature in your project. Now what you can do is add a switch to your deployment project which will be turned in something like --enable-super-feature on configure side (i.e. you will be able to run configure like ./configure --enable-super-feature).
This will actually define (as in #define) a symbol that you can use with #if … #endif constructs in your code to activate your specific feature.
Since we are at it, here is a little screenie :
I will add support asap for simple makefile projects. The UI is also probably a bit rough, if there are any usability expert out of there I will gladly accept any sensible criticism

Some svn up ago, Monodevelop started to throw strange exceptions at my face about Format error occuring when parsing a string with double.Parse(). This was triggered in various places ranging from startup, project opening, file opening or application unloading. At the time I hadn’t bothered tracking down the issue but last Monday I decided to [...]
Just a quicknote for those lazy enough to not have noticed .
The announcement can be read here with the changelog there (particulary this ). Believe me, to see my insignificant feature on such a big thing makes me very very happy .
EDIT: Everything is now in SVN thanks to Lluis (Yay \o/), so you just have to do a little ‘svn up‘ or wait for the next release (0.16 ?) which should be available soon.
Then just follow these instructions :
Do a fresh checkout of MonoDevelop to get the core modifications that Lluis has already commited from [...]

Since my lab sessions and directed work at school start only next week I had two days almost completely free (exception of an administrative headache yesterday). So what could I do with these two days (and after yet another intégration party) ?
Well, without really understanding how, I ended up coding a missing feature [...]
(I think I’m starting to like these kind of post)
Yay today I passed my last written exam for the Baccalauréat. Physics/Chemistry was terrific but I found Math easy (which is good because my final mark will depend mostly on this exam mark). Now it just let some practical and oral tests in the following week [...]
Tristan Nitot appelle ça des « En Vrac », moi je vais appeler ça des « Capharnaüm » .
Dans à peu près deux semaines maintenant ça sera la première épreuve du Baccalauréat. J’essaie de réviser mais quand on a envie de programmer ou de lire des trucs ça devient difficile .
Début de semaine épuisant [...]
I guess I’m living on the bleeding edge these days, using Ubuntu Feisty when it’s still in alpha, compiling my favorite C# applications (Banshee yay !) from new version and now I’m even using MonoDevelop from daily Subversion checkout .
I remember that previously building Monodevelop was always a challenge because of conflicting version [...]
