I’ve build Monogame from source (5260f82170c9a523de44b4638db9b329b1cbdd87) to follow these tutorials:

I’m trying to import the provided SmileyWalk.png image as a DXT5 compressed texture, but I get an exception and a stack trace when trying to do so.

I tried to get the debugger to break on a breakpoint at line 100 of Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content.Pipeline.Graphics.BitmapContent as my grep shows that that’s the only place where that particular error string would show up, but no dice. Probably I’ve got something set up wrong where Monodevelop doesn’t want to debug a dll external to the Pipeline.Linux project. Right now I can work around the problem by setting the image to be uncompressed, but I’d like to be able to DXT compress stuff for my real games, so has anyone got any sage advice or ideas about what’s going wrong here?
