5. Development environment (C#): Linux + Monodevelop

This chapter describes how to use the Monodevelop IDE on a Linux box to develop in C#.

Important

현재 Mono 라이브러리의 버전 문제로 Ubuntu 에서 C# 프로젝트를 실행할 수 없는 문제가 있습니다. 아이펀엔진과 Monodevelop 개발도구를 설치하기 전 반드시 아래 절차를 따라 Mono 라이브러리 저장소를 설정 해 주시기 바랍니다.

// Ubuntu 16.04 일 경우
echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/ubuntu stable-xenial/snapshots/5.10.1 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list

// Ubuntu 18.04 일 경우
echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/ubuntu stable-bionic/snapshots/5.10.1 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mono-devel

Important

As of August 2017, iFun Engine does not support the Flatpak MonoDevelop.

5.1. Starting a new project

Enter the following in a command line to start a server project called hello:

$ funapi_initiator hello --csharp

Important

To use Monodevelop IDE, you must create a C# Project. In other words, you must use --csharp as in the example above.

5.2. Opening a project in Monodevelop

  1. Run Monodevelop.

  1. Click on File in the upper left, then click Open.

  1. There is a ‘mono’ directory that contains C# files, Go to the directory and open hello.csproj or hello.sln. (If the project name is not “hello”, open {{ProjectName}}.csproj or {{ProjectName}}.sln.)

Project loading has finished. When the project opens, you can begin coding.

5.3. Building a Project in Monodevelop

You can build without any special configuration from the Build menu or by pressing F8. You can also right-click the project to use the Build, Rebuild, and Clean features.

5.3.1. Run a project in Monodevelop on 7 or higher version

You have to select {project-name}-Custom Command to run a project as shown below.

5.3.2. Migration project with older version

Your project may not build on 7 or higher version. In this case, you can clean the project by removing a build directory({project directory}/mono/bin).

5.4. Debugging a Project in Monodevelop

To debug in Mono, you need to use the Monodevelop IDE’s Mono Soft Mode Debugger.

5.4.1. Configuring using Mono Soft Debugger

Configure settings for the MONODEVELOP_SDB_TEST environment variable to activate Mono Soft Debugger’s features. Enter the following command:

$ echo "export MONODEVELOP_SDB_TEST=1" >> ~/.profile

This is applied when you log out and then in again or when you reboot. You can check the environment variable configuration as follows:

$ echo $MONODEVELOP_SDB_TEST
1

Now, run Monodevelop to check the submenus under Run With. Then Click on the Custom Command Mono Soft Debugger menu.

Click Listen. Monodevelop IDE is now configured. Monodevelop IDE is now waiting for debugging.

Now, run the game server and open the debugger. Enter the following:

$ ./hello/mono/bin/Debug/buildcpp/hello-local --mono_debug

Debugging proceeds as follows:

5.4.2. Using Mono Soft Debugger on 7 or higher version

In 7 version, Mono Soft Debugger feature moved to Custom Configuration menu.

Click Custom Configuration menu. Then you can see Custom Command Mono Soft Debugger in the following screen

Important

If you can’t find Custom Command Mono Soft Debugger on the list, you may check $MONODEVELOP_SDB_TEST environment value
