Xamarin Studio Setup

[X52]

I'm trying to set up Xamarin Studio for my first plugin. It seems the wiki entries about this are out-of-date because they say I should install monodevelop which I could't find for windows.

(I want to develop on Linux and windows so an IDE which works on both would be nice)

The wiki says I should set the target framework to .net 3.5 but I can't find this in Xamarin.

I can compile the solution but when I put the .dll into ksp I get this error:

[EXC 09:29:39.878] FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Runtime, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies.

I don't know what to do and could't find something in the wiki or the forums.

I hope someone can help me.

I may not be the best to answer this question, as Xamarin Studio won't really work for me. As for the dotnet35 thing, occasionally I misconfigure my Visual Studio, and I noticed that I can open the project files in a text-editor and correct stuff like the references and Visual Studio will keep my changes even if they don't exactly match up. I don't know if Xamarin will let you do the same. It may be worth a try. Try to look in the .csproj and find/read/change:

<TargetFrameworkVersion>v3.5</TargetFrameworkVersion>
