MonoDevelop is a project to port SharpDevelop to Gtk#. There are numerous goals that MonoDevelop hopes to achieve.
Product's homepage
Here are some key features of "MonoDevelop":
· To create a best of breed development environment for Unix systems for C# and Mono.
· Since its written in Gtk#, and we like Gtk# and we get good support from Gtk#, most likely it will add functionality to improve the Gtk# experience.
· Today the IDE is a simple IDE and on Unix does not do GUI design, but we plan on adding a GUI designer.
· We want to integrate the tools we have been building so far, so things like MonoDoc, NUnit-Gtk and the debugger should target MonoDevelop.
Requirements:
· Mono Project
· Gtk#
· GtkSourceView#
· Gecko#
· Mono debugger (optional)
· IKVM (optional)
· Boo (optional)
