Targeting 3.5 Runtime

Is there a way to configure MonoDevelop to build against the
3.5
runtime?   The way I am dealing with it now is by generating
makefiles
with MD, then editing the make file to use the runtime and
libs that I
have built from svn (although not installed). I am able to
build test
code that useses for example query extensions in this way,
but it is not
ideal.  From what I can tell, this should be possible, but I
have not
found a clue yet.

Thanks, Zak

MonoDevelop builds using the tools and libraries in your
current $PATH
and $PKG_CONFIG_PATH. However, mixing multiple Mono
environments isn't
easy. I suggest installing your SVN mono into a properly
separated
parallel environment e.g. /opt/mono or ~/mono-svn/install,
as
described at http://www.mono-project.com/Parallel_Mono_Environments
,
then building and running MonoDevelop within this
environment too.

The SVN C# compiler defaults to C# 3 mode
("Default" langversion), but
bear in mind that C# 3 features currently confuse/break
MonoDevelop's
code completion.

Thanks, that helps. I was thinking that was out there
somewhere.

I figured that the code completion would still not work
properly, but
that I can live with.
