garmone-2.9.91.1 : Mono

["Joseph E. Sacco, Ph.D." <joseph_sacco comcast net>]

* gmime-2.1.9
This version of gmime does *not* contain the mono bindings that create
gmime-sharp, which is necessary to build beagle.

Update to version 2.1.12 and add the appropriate LIBDEPS

* monodevelop-0.5.1
monodevelop does not build because of a name space problem. 

mcs complains repeatedly that it cannot find a type named SharpAssembly

For example,
                              ...
        ././Internal/Parser/SharpAssemblyLayer/SharpAssemblyMethod.cs(24) error CS0246: Cannot find type 'SharpAssembly'
                                      ...
        
Yet when this file is examined, the encompassing name space is seen to
be declared, so something is amiss.
        
                                    ...
        using MonoDevelop.SharpAssembly.Assembly;
                                                                                                          
        namespace MonoDevelop.Internal.Parser {
                                                                                                          
                [Serializable]
                public class SharpAssemblyMethod : AbstractMethod
                {
                        public SharpAssemblyMethod(SharpAssembly asm,
        Method[] methodTable, SharpAssemblyClass declaringtype, uint
        index)
                        {
                                 ...

The first thought that comes to mind is the mcs command line must be
missing a link to the DLL that contains the namespace. However, that
does not seem to be the case:

                             ...

        Making all in Base
        make[4]: Entering directory
        `/usr/local/src/GNOME/garnome-2.9.91.1/mono/monodevelop/work/main.d/monodevelop-0.5.1/src/Main/Base'
        perl  -x./../../../build/data/resources/icons -w
        ././Services/process-icons.pl > ./Services/StockIcons.cs
        mcs /debug -codepage:utf8 /out:MonoDevelop.Base.dll
        /target:library /r:System.Drawing /r:ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll

        /r:../../../build/bin/MonoDevelop.Core.dll
        /r:../../../build/bin/ICSharpCode.SharpAssembly.dll
              ...

I goggled the WEB and found a couple of references to this problem. The
suggested workaround is to replace the unqualified type name with a
fully qualified type name, which works, but... duh...

C# is a language that incorporates the worst aspects of VB, C, C++, and
Java. Given its corporates sponsors, this comes as no surprise.
