How to reference GTK assemblies in MonoDevelop on ubuntu

I've installed libgtk2.0-cil and libgtk2.0-cil-dev and gtk-sharp2 via apt

But when I open the References->Edit References->Packages it's not there.

https://www.monodevelop.com/help/faq/ says that MonoDevelop uses pgk-config and .pc files to locate assemblies.

There is a gtk-sharp-2.0.pc file in /usr/lib/pkgconfig

I'm using MonoDevelop 7.8.4 (build2) on Ubuntu 18.04

My project targets .net 4.8

How do I get MonoDevelop to discover my GTK sharp assemblies?

The assemblies also exist in the GAC

gacutil -l | grep gdk

policy.2.8.gtk-dotnet, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f policy.2.6.gtk-sharp, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f policy.2.10.gtk-dotnet, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f policy.2.8.gtk-sharp, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f policy.2.4.gtk-dotnet, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f gtk-sharp, Version=2.12.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f gtk-sharp, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f policy.2.4.gtk-sharp, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f gtk-dotnet, Version=2.12.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f policy.2.10.gtk-sharp, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f policy.2.6.gtk-dotnet, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f

MonoDevelop loads them from GAC, so your project file should contain,

  <ItemGroup>
    <Reference Include="System" />
    <Reference Include="gtk-sharp, Version=2.4.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f">
      <SpecificVersion>False</SpecificVersion>
    </Reference>
    <Reference Include="gdk-sharp, Version=2.4.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f">
      <SpecificVersion>False</SpecificVersion>
    </Reference>
    <Reference Include="glib-sharp, Version=2.4.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f">
      <SpecificVersion>False</SpecificVersion>
    </Reference>
    <Reference Include="glade-sharp, Version=2.4.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f">
      <SpecificVersion>False</SpecificVersion>
    </Reference>
    <Reference Include="pango-sharp, Version=2.4.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f">
      <SpecificVersion>False</SpecificVersion>
    </Reference>
    <Reference Include="atk-sharp, Version=2.4.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f">
      <SpecificVersion>False</SpecificVersion>
    </Reference>
    <Reference Include="Mono.Posix" />
  </ItemGroup>
