For Windows? I don't think so, though I haven't tried.
For OS X? Yes, and I have 20 installed. Note that this isn't entirely
convenient unless you're a luddite Terminal lover like me...
Note that none of this is officially supported; it's just what I've been doing
the last 2+ years of development...
Step 1: Copy the SDK directories into a versioned directory:
cd /Developer
sudo cp -R MonoAndroid MonoAndroid-VERSION
cd /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework
sudo cp -R External External-VERSION
Optional Step 2: Create a script in $PATH with the contents [0]. Update VERSION
and directories as appropriate. I name my scripts dbuild-VERSION. The
dbuild-VERSION script is xbuild, and thus takes the same arguments as xbuild;
you'll want to be acquainted with:
http://docs.xamarin.com/android/advanced_topics/build_process#Build_Targets
For example:
dbuild-v4.2.3 /t:Install MyProject.csproj /p:AdbTarget=-d
Once created, you can just use the dbuild-VERSION script to build. HOWEVER,
this doesn't integrate with MonoDevelop; the IDE will only use
/Developer/MonoAndroid.
Optional Step 3 (MonoDevelop integration): Symlinks!
cd /Developer
rm -Rf MonoAndroid # or mv...
ln -s MonoAndroid-VERSION MonoDevelop
# repeat to /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/External
You can setup some script wrappers wrappers to sanely automate the symlink
creation.
