Why are you running git init here? Don't execute random commands without reading the manual pages for them first.

git remote -v
origin  https://github.com/arfbtwn/banshee.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/arfbtwn/banshee.git (push)
git fetch --all
git branch --list
[nothing]

If you read the manual page you'll find the -a switch that shows remote branches too.

git checkout feature/csharp4
"error: Updating the following directories would lose untracked files in it:
        src/Hyena
error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by

Dumped everything in folder into zip file then files & moved zip. Re entered
git commands:
"error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by

Please move or remove them before you switch branches. Aborting"

Seems nuts that it's got a problem with git files that it's using itself.
Put them all in zips.

Nah - you still had the files from your earlier clone even though you messed up your local repository, this is just git being safe.

For future you could have done "git checkout --force <branch>" and git would have just done it.

$ git checkout feature/csharp4
"Branch feature/csharp4 set up to track remote branch feature/csharp4 from
origin.
Switched to a new branch 'feature/csharp4'"

$ ./autogen.sh
"No package 'gstreamer-sharp-1.0' found"

./autogen.sh --enable-gst-native (changes from previous only):
"banshee-2.9.2 /   Build Environment /     Install Prefix:
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/../.. [was /usr]"
$ make
previous apple device issue
$ ./autogen.sh --enable-gst-native --disable-appledevice
$ make:
Apple issue gone. Same "Making all in Banshee.Gio" issue :(

"compile my own gudev-sharp"

$ git clone https://github.com/mono/gudev-sharp.git
$ git submodule update --init

FYI this should be executed inside the freshly cloned repository. It definitely sounds like you made your parent source directory into a git repository at some point since it didn't produce an error.

$ cd gudev-sharp
$ ./autogen.sh
$ make
failed: no -keyfile:../gudev-sharp.snk -out:gudev-sharp.dll -unsafe

-target:library
-r:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/../../lib/mono/gtk-sharp-3.0/glib-sharp.dll
AssemblyInfo.cs generated/*.cs
/bin/bash: no: command not found
Makefile:503: recipe for target 'gudev-sharp.dll' failed

$ make CSC=mcs
looks like it worked
$ cd ../

$ ./autogen.sh --enable-gst-native --disable-appledevice
$ make

Apple issue gone. Same "Making all in Banshee.Gio" issue. "compile my own
gudev-sharp" section obviously didn't do anything so I guess either I did it
wrongly or it wasn't the right thing to do.

As always, any pointers welcomed.
Cheers dude.

Cool - you just missed the installation step for gudev-sharp, there should be an assembly in there if it built correctly.

Beware though - you'll overwrite your system copy in the GAC so back it up first.
