Thanks, that explains it. I took the easy way out: I still have my
compiled version of mono in /usr/local, and I installed other
packages, like gtk-sharp, using MacPorts. Taking care my environment
variables are ok, this works. Of course, now I have two mono versions,
but the MacPorts one is only used for MacPorts packages. I use the /
usr/local one.
Anyway, to solve the problem that the compiled mono does not have the
gtk-sharp/pango-sharp etc in its gac, I simply use the gacutil tool to
add them all to the compiled mono. These are the ones required for
running MonoDevelop, for instance:
502 sudo gacutil -i /opt/local/lib/mono/gac/gtk-sharp/
2.12.0.0__35e10195dab3c99f/gtk-sharp.dll
505 sudo gacutil -i /opt/local/lib/mono/gac/glib-sharp/
2.12.0.0__35e10195dab3c99f/glib-sharp.dll
507 sudo gacutil -i /opt/local/lib/mono/gac/atk-sharp/
2.12.0.0__35e10195dab3c99f/atk-sharp.dll
509 sudo gacutil -i /opt/local/lib/mono/gac/gdk-sharp/
2.12.0.0__35e10195dab3c99f/gdk-sharp.dll
511 sudo gacutil -i /opt/local/lib/mono/gac/pango-sharp/
2.12.0.0__35e10195dab3c99f/pango-sharp.dll
Saves me the 'trouble' to create my own mono-devel port. In a later
stage I might have a look at contributing to such a port, but first I
will play a bit with those features I needed from the trunk mono ;-).
Cheers, Bart

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.
