Errors building Monodevelop with VS14

I've been trying to build MonoDevelop (not Xamarin Studio). These are the steps I've taken:

  1. Installed VS 2015 community. Standard install but w/o web dev stuff
  2. Installed GTK# 2.12.26 from mono-project.com and added GtkSharp\2.12\bin to the PATH
  3. Installed the Mono libraries from monodevelop.com and added MonoLibraries\2.6 to the PATH
  4. Installed Gettext from GnuWin32 and added GnuWin32\bin to the PATH
  5. Downloaded and extracted MonoDevelop 5.10.0.704 tar from mono-project.com
  6. Opened monodevelop-5.10\Main.sln in VS and selected the DebugWin32 configuration
  7. Built Solution and promptly got ~20,000 errors which you can see in this gist

It's obvious that it can't find namespaces but I don't understand C# enough to make use of these build errors, though I think it's because I installed the dependency libraries wrong. Any help would be appreciated!

Ok I've managed to build it with the help if MonoDevelop's Gitter

This is what I've done since:

  1. Install Mono from mono-project.com and add Mono\bin to the PATH
  2. Installed the MSBuild 2013 tools from here
  3. Cloned from github.com/mono/monodevelop and ran main\winbuid.bat

Everything seems to work now!
