Sorry I didn't explain myself well. It complies in vs and monodevelop fine.
I was trying to follow the instructions for the command line and using 'gmcs
C:\arcadia\arcadia\form1.cs -pkg:dotnet'
I am a little confused how i get from the above to macpack and creating .app

to work as it is not recognised.
