I need some features of mono that are only available from trunk, so I uninstalled mono 2.0.1 from MacPorts, and compiled/installed mono from the trunk. This worked out fine, and I have mono/mcs/ gacutil/... available in my Terminal. Now I would like to reinstall the dependencies to install MonoDevelop, among which gtk-sharp2 and mono-addins. But MacPorts fails to recognize the mono install, reporting the following during the configuration phase:

checking for mcs... no
configure: error: mcs Not found

What is the problem here?

MacPorts is designed to only use other software that's been installed by MacPorts. (There are a few exceptions, like Xcode and X11.)

You could create a private mono-devel port on your computer to install the latest development version of mono. Then you'd also have to modify all the ports that depend on port:mono to instead depend on a file that both mono and mono-devel provide, e.g. use path:bin/ mono:mono.
