Make MonoDevelop respect smcs.rsp

Question

It's possible to create global defines, by placing them in smcs.rsp, and when you hit play - you'll notice those parts of the code are hit and everything is acting as if it should.

However when editing the source in MonoDevelop, it does not recognize the constants that are set in that file. Leaving you with text that looks like this:

This makes it hard to keep track of what the current constant values are and requires mentally tracking what is turned on and off despite the editor constantly telling you otherwise.

Is it possible to get monodevelop to respect that file?

Answer 1

The method of using smcs.rsp is pretty old and is not needed after unity3d 4.x. Before 4.0 there is not way of doing it without smcs.rsp file but things have changed, the constants can be added from game itslef.

Go to Edit->Project Settings->Player and in the inspector, choose other settings and u will see configuration title, in the box below specify your symbols one by one followed by ;
