--- Comment #4 from Phillip R. Jaenke <p...@rootwyrm.com> ---
Interesting! I talked with Alexander Koeplinger (runtime team) on Gitter about
it, so it probably is just a miscommunication between teams there. Mono
internally is a VERY large project.

However, a quick swing through shows that the version in ports does NOT compile
with newer Mono. Which isn't entirely unexpected, as it's a 4 year old release
tarball.

/usr/local/bin/mcs -out:WidgetViewer.exe -r:../../glib/glib-sharp.dll
-r:../../pango/pango-sharp.dll -r:../../atk/atk-sharp.dll
-r:../../gdk/gdk-sharp.dll -r:../../gtk/gtk-sharp.dll ./TestCheckButton.cs
./TestColorSelection.cs ./TestRadioButton.cs ./TestRange.cs ./TestStatusbar.cs
./TestDialog.cs ./TestFlipping.cs ./TestSizeGroup.cs ./TestCombo.cs
./TestComboBox.cs ./WidgetViewer.cs
./TestCombo.cs(17,14): warning CS0612: `Gtk.Combo' is obsolete
./TestRange.cs(35,6): error CS0104: `Range' is an ambiguous reference between
`System.Range' and `Gtk.Range'
/usr/local/lib/mono/4.5/mscorlib.dll (Location of the symbol related to
previous error)
./TestRange.cs(35,13): error CS0030: Cannot convert type `Gtk.HScale' to

./TestRange.cs(42,6): error CS0104: `Range' is an ambiguous reference between

/usr/local/lib/mono/4.5/mscorlib.dll (Location of the symbol related to

./TestRange.cs(42,13): error CS0030: Cannot convert type `Gtk.HScrollbar' to

./TestCombo.cs(31,20): warning CS0612: `Gtk.Combo' is obsolete
Compilation failed: 6 error(s), 2 warnings

So there's definitely some major cleanup and overhaul needed here. Item one is
probably switching to actually fetching from a GH commit instead of a 4 year
old pseudo-release. There's probably over a thousand bug fix commits between
the release tarball and current commit. Or having upstream do a new release
tarball; either way works.
I've got no problem switching that out and updating the port correspondingly
there. (Just probably won't be able to get to it today.)

However: issue two, this depends on gtk-sharp20, which is another orphan in
need of serious updating. (Or optionally gtk-sharp30, same deal.) I don't know
anywhere near enough about the Gnome infrastructure to know what the correct
answer here is or how the gtk-sharp pieces would impact other gtk pieces at
this point. Is there anyone from gnome@ who would be able to lend me a hand
here?
