Can't install MonoGame addin for MonoDevelop

[extropic]

Hi, I hope this is the right forum for this question.

I'm using a fairly fresh install of Mageia 5. I installed the monodevelop package from MCC, and when I try to run MonoDevelop I get this error:

Code: Select all

The following add-ins could not be started:
MonoDevelop.GnomePlatform,5
  - Full Path: MonoDevelop.GnomePlatform,5.7
  - Error: Error while getting object for node in path '/MonoDevelop/Core/PlatformService'


There is an option to proceed anyways, so I did that...
My actual goal was to write a game using the MonoGame framework. I didn't see any MonoGame related packages so I assume I'm supposed to install it via the addin manager from MonoDevelop. Trying to do that produces the following list of errors: (posted as a screenshot because I can't copy/paste out of this window)

So it looks like I need to have some AspNet addin installed... but the only relevant package I see in MCC is mono-web, which is already installed.

Has anyone else managed to get MonoDevelop or MonoGame working on Mageia? I'm not sure what else to try from here.

Yep it's the right forum - if you have an issue and you're unsure, simply use the basic support subforum and the moderators will take care of moving it into more appropriate subforums if it doesn't fit

Reproducible here (the issue about installing MonoGame) so I'd recommend reporting that as a bug, after searching if it hasn't been reported yet already: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_report_a_bug_properly
For completeness's sake and also to allow others to follow up on that bug report, please also post the link to it here in the thread, thanks.

For the issue during launch about MonoDevelop.GnomePlatform, I don't see that there, but I'm running it under KDE, which might be the cause.

I had the same 'MonoDevelop.GnomePlatform' issue on my Mageia 5 (x86_64) (also KDE) system. A web search brought up this (apparently Spanish) page:

A search in the Package Manager for "gnomeui" listed "libgnomeui2 (Main GNOME libraries​)". After installing that along with its dependencies, the GnomePlatform issue was resolved.

I realize this isn't necessarily directly related to the MonoGame addin, but perhaps at least one of those issues can be resolved.
