MonoDevelop Addin for NaCl using 'ProjectServiceExtension'

Hi all i'm trying to make a MonoDevelop addin that I can use to compile out Mono for NaCl projects... but i'm getting a null ref error and can't find enough information to figure out whats going wrong.

The null ref happens when I try to create a project from my Addin in MonoDevelop. All resources are set to build as 'EmbeddedResource'.

Builder.cs:

using System;
using MonoDevelop.Projects;
using MonoDevelop.Core;

namespace MonoDevelop.MonoNaCl
{
    public class Builder : ProjectServiceExtension
    {
        protected override BuildResult Build (IProgressMonitor monitor, SolutionEntityItem item, ConfigurationSelector configuration)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Yahoo Build");
            return base.Build (monitor, item, configuration);
        }

        protected override void Execute (IProgressMonitor monitor, SolutionEntityItem item, ExecutionContext context, ConfigurationSelector configuration)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Yahoo Execute");
            base.Execute (monitor, item, context, configuration);
        }
    }
}

MonoDevelop.MonoNaCl.addin.xml: NOTE: I'm really not clear on the 'Extension's I should use and think the issue is in there.

<Addin namespace   = "MonoDevelop"
       id          = "MonoNaCl"
       name        = "Mono for NaCl"
       author      = "Andrew Witte"
       copyright   = "BSD"
       url         = "http://www.URL.com"
       description = "Support for developing MonoNaCl applications."
       category    = "NaCl Development"

    <Extension path = "/MonoDevelop/ProjectModel/ProjectServiceExtensions">

    </Extension>-->

    <Extension path="/MonoDevelop/ProjectModel/SerializableClasses">
        <DataType class="MonoDevelop.MonoNaCl.Builde" />
    </Extension>
</Addin>

MonoNaCl.xpt.xml:

            <Options/>
        </Project>
    </Combine>
</Template>

And here is the Error after trying to create a project:

Solution

  • Remove the type="MonoNaCl" attribute definition in the Project element. You don't have to set the project type, unless you are defining your own Project subclass.
