Re: [Numerator-discuss] GSL#

[Antonio Z. <azu...@ya...>]

Hello!

	Thank you very much for your answer. (I got it when you send it, but I
couldn't answer until now, sorry.)

	It would be great if we can share the effort to make a wrapper of the
GSL to C#. I think we haven't had the same approach. My first attempt
was to write manually the functions, but I think is much better if we
use the (young C#) machinery of SWIG (http://www.swig.org).

	I have been using this tool and I have almost finished a 0.1 version
with almost every function :-O Maybe it's what we need (or simply the
roots).

	I have to admit I am not completely familiar with your full project. I
will study it and will see if the previous is the best way to develop
the wrapper. At this time, the wrapper is only one possibility in our
group. The highest (graphical) level is, of course, the goal.

Again, thank you very much for your answer,
kind regards :)

A.
