A while ago I posted a how-to on compiling Mono 2.4 from source on Ubuntu. After the release of a minor version update for mono, Mono 2.4.2.2 it was impossible to compile debugger support for Monodevelop 2.0 using Mono 2.4.2.2 sources.

The reason is because in mono 2.4.2.2 the mono-debugger was also updated, to version 2.4.2.1, breaking compatibility with monodevelop-debugger-mdb-2.0. I found a way to solve this and provide a patch.

Download the patch from here.

Applying the patch

Copy the patch from where you downloaded it, to the directory containing the source directory for monodevelop-debugger-mdb-2.0, e.g (~/src/mono-2.4.2.2).

And patch the sources like this:

patch -p0 < monodevelop-debugger-mdb-2.0.mono-debugger-2.4.2.1.patch

The resulting output  output should be something similar to this:

anirothan@lapitop:~/src/mdb-patch/original$ patch -p0 < monodevelop-debugger-mdb-2.0.mono-debugger-2.4.2.1.patch
patching file monodevelop-debugger-mdb-2.0/Mono.Debugging.Server.Mdb/RuntimeInvokeManager.cs
anirothan@lapitop:~/src/mdb-patch/original$

Now you can confiure & make & make install the sources as usual.
