I don’t have any idea if mono-tools is still supported package, but its build is badly broken at least on FreeBSD. Anyway, the only tool I find really useful there is monodoc, which luckily can be installed manually like this:
- Download latest mono-tools (from github)
- Install /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gnome-desktop-sharp20
- do ./autogen.sh in directory where you downloaded mono-tools (obviously you need to have automake and autoconf tools for this)
- cd docbrowser
- do gmake
- it will fail to compile admin.cs file
- you do touch admin.exe to make it think it succeeded
- do gmake install (still in docbrowser directory)
After all this you should be able to start monodoc from command line (or to invoke it from within monodevelop using F1). I find monodoc very useful when browsing Gtk# documentation, since web documentation seems to have some very stupid layout.
