Re: Using Monodevelop to write Winelib apps

["Progman3K" <wineforum-user@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for your responses, they are most helpful.

I should clarify, I am already able to write Winelib apps fairly easily using imake.

I have been able to write some simple Imakefiles to build a project for Winelib or for MinGW.

It's just that to write everything, I am using separate tools like gedit, imake and the terminal.

Using Monodevelop is interesting because of it's integrated debugger and code-completion.

For example to write graphical Windows apps, I have had success with Imakefiles like these:

for Winelib

And now the same thing for MinGW:

This approach works really well, I'm trying to do basically the same thing but using the project options in Monodevelop.
