How do i add a custom configuration in mono develop?


I am coding a bit of C# at my school in Mono, using monoDevelop as a IDE on Ubuntu.

I can run my application by doing Run --> Run with --> Custom configuration --> checking off "Use external console" --> advanced --> Setting Execute in .NET Runtime to mono instead of (Default Runtime) --> Run ... When then executes alright, i want to make this a custom configuration though, that is saved so whenever i press run i does exactly this. I cannot find any custom configuration options though, and i cannot seem to find any plugins that offers this either.

Thanks


Solution

  • I would guess that you are using a version of MonoDevelop before version 6.1.

    Support for run configurations was added in Xamarin Studio 6.1, so that will be in MonoDevelop 6.1.

    Run Configuration in Project Options

    Adding a run configuration with a recent version of MonoDevelop will create a .user file named after your project's .csproj file which has custom run configuration information.
