Hi sorry if I wasn’t clear. What I mean by ‘opening the package’ is double clicking on a packaging project that I added to the solution when I first created the file.
You are correct with your assumption that I created a new C# console project and it does compile and display “hello world” inside of the MonoDevelop console without any errors.
From Project > Create Package I clicked Tarball and then chose Autotools based Makefile. Here is the output from that:

Solution was succesfully deployed
---------OUTPUT END---------
In regards to where I double click the package: because I adding a packaging project to the solution (to make it easier to build the package) I am actually double clicking on it within the solution explorer of MonoDevelop. I am running KDE 4.3.5.
When I built the above package (not using the solution package project but rather through the Project → Package file menu) I was able to run “./configure && make && make install” without errors. However as part of the project I was also trying to test unix integration and as such had adding a .desktop file. I set this file to be installed in the Games menu and checked include it deploy, however after running the above line the program is installed but no menu entry exists… am I missing something?
Thanks a lot for all of your help!
