I've gotten it to build, and barely run on win32. It's
not anywhere
near stable or useful yet, let alone deployable. It will
load through
the splash screen, to the main window, allow me to create
new projects
and open existing ones (although not edit source or build
yet), and
browse the monodocs. So far, I can not use Stetic, nor the
Welcome
Page addin.
I started where you did, with paco's installers for
mono/gtk# and
gecko#, as well as the shellter build of evolution-win32. I
built MD
from anonymous svn rev 62063.
I have:
GECKOSHILLA_BASEPATH=C:\Program Files\Common
Files\gtkmozembed-win32
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/cygdrive/c/Program
Files/Evolution/bin:/cygdrive/c/mono/MonoX-1.1.13.1/bin:/cyg
drive/c/GTK/2.8/bin
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=c:\gtkstuff\lib\pkgconfig:c:\mono\MonoX
-1.1.13.1\lib\pkgconfig
I temporarily disabled the code in
Core/src/MonoDevelop.Ide/MonoDevelop.Ide.Gui/IdeStartup.cs
that checks
for/reconnects to existing instances (UNIX sockets),
temporarily
removed the Stetic (MonoDevelop.GtkCore) and WelcomePage
addins (from
build/AddIns), and ran with --ipc-tcp.
I hope some of this is helpful.
