Re: [SharpOS Developers] Freetype

I would be interested in knowing how complete or incomplete this is. I agree that a complete rewrite would be a better idea, I'm just surprised that somebody is actually attempting it.

I don't have time to hash out a long email now but I have been working on porting freetype to c#.I am going to run it off system.drawing so that it will drop in when that is complete.Quick status: started decoding the instructions, reminds me of msil decoding :), albiet horrific documentation.I don't think anyone would be too hot on just compiling freetype as is, it wasn't architected with the .net paradigms/practices/styles in mind. It will be like using mogre (anyone used it? it hurts to write code like that).Not to mention [I assume] most of the coders around here don't use c++ that much :). I will see about dropping my code in a repo when it gets a bit more feature complete.Email me direct if you want a zip of what I have so far.

Have any of you tried to compile Freetype to MSIL? I've spent a couple of hours and had some amount of success. I don't know what to do about the calls to setjmpor longjmpso I've just dummied those out. After that I get about 15 unresolved externals that I'm struggling with. Its been a while since I looked at c++, I've been a c# man for a number of years now. Would anybody be interested in looking at what I have so far?CheersColinIf you are not the intended addressee, please inform us immediately that you have received this e-mail in error, and delete it.
