How to repair latest broken Monodevelop build on Ubuntu Linux 14.04?
We purged mono-complete & monodevelop and followed the steps in this article: http://gettingsharper.de/2014/10/07/get-and-compile-the-latest-monodevelop-on-ubuntulinux. The makefile make process halts early complaining of "editor/GtkWorkarounds.cs(
Here is the C# compiler command line used by the Monodevelop main folder Makefie
Target CoreCompile:
Tool /home/venkat/lib/mono/4.5/
I thiught we were missing an assembly reference" apparently because nuget restore does not fetch the correct GTK and GNOME libraries. Later, A Xamarin expert told me that gtk and gnome libraries are not on nuget So, you have to install them yourself.
Then we installed the gtk and gnome libraries using sudo apt-get install gnome-devel and ran ./configure --profile=stable on monodevelop and generated a Makefile which contains a section called GTK_SHARP_LIBS which references libraries on the desktop. When the Makefile hits the Target CoreCompile section it tries to compile C# source files which use the gtk-sharp assembly. Apparently , In the main Monodevelop makefile, the compilation of C# source files which use the gtk-sharp assembly does not explicitly reference the gtk-sharp assembly. Is there a way to repair that?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am trying it again, shall let you know how it goes.
Hi Frank,
I was able to successfully build mondevelop package from source (using git clone) on ubuntu 15.04 version VM. Here are the steps that I followed.
1. First I installed mono from source using below instructions:
1. a. http://www.mono-project.com/docs/getting-started/install/linux/#usage
2. http://www.mono-project.com/docs/compiling-mono/linux/ ( I used the option build mono from source)
3. Then I started with monodevelop build from source. i used the instructions given in below link:
https://github.com/mono/monodevelop
4. I got few errors while building monodevelop and here is how i resolved the errors.
5. I had to install cmake, lib-ssh2, zlib packages.
6. Also I fulfilled the following dependencies required for monodevelop to be built from source. These dependencies are mentioned in the monodevelop git page (https://github.com/mono/monodevelop#dependencies)
Dependencies
Mono >= 3.0.4
Gtk# >= 2.12.8
monodoc >= 1.0
mono-addins >= 0.6
cmake (Linux only for git support)
libssh2 (Linux only for git support)

Karrtik Iyer,
Thank you for your solution today. Please tell me the exact steps you used to install the following dependencies:
Mono >= 3.0.4
Gtk# >= 2.12.8
monodoc >= 1.0
mono-addins >= 0.6
cmake (Linux only for git support)
libssh2 (Linux only for git support)
Also , specifically how did you solve the "editor/GtkWorkarounds.cs(
