Unity 2017.1.1 and net 4.6 has compiler errors in Monodevelop

Unity Engine

Hi There,

I’ve just tried switching a small project to the .net 4.6 experimental but if I try to compile this in Monodevelop I get the errors / warnings in the attached screenshot.

I would’ve expected that monodevelop works out of the box for the new scripting version, am I missing some configuration step?

Thanks

Which version of MonoDevelop are you using?

version 5.9.6 running from the unity install path on OSX:

/Applications/Unity_2017_11_p3/MonoDevelop.app

I thought that we had shipped MonoDevelop 6 or later with 2017.1, but I guess not. Please try the MonoDevelop build from this thread: https://discussions.unity.com/t/665379

It should work with .NET 4.6 properly.

Thanks Josh, so I just installed 2017.1.1p4 and it is also shipped with Monodevelop 5.9.6. Perhaps there’s been a mistake / regression from the .1 release with the mlnodevelop version?

Thanks for linking to a working mlnodevelop version

I don’t think this was a mistake. It looks like we shipped 2017.1 with MonoDevelop 5.x on purpose, as the .NET 4.6 runtime is an experimental feature only. So I think that using the MonoDevelop 6.x version from the forum post is the proper thing to do.
