Hi guys, I'm new here so I don't know the status of the project too well. 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 setjmp or longjmp so 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? Cheers Colin If you are not the intended addressee, please inform us immediately that you have received this e-mail in error, and delete it. We thank you for your cooperation. |

Hi Colin, Sure. We're always interested in help. I suppose what you're seeing are imports from the C runtime library. As we don't have one there needs to be a replacement of some sort there though.

If we get it to compile targeting cli:pure we can try decompiling it to c#, so it could be of some help in porting. But I fear it won't work too well... Btw the FreeType's license is original-with-advertising-clause-BSD-like (GPL incompatible) dual-licensed with GPLv2 (Linux someone? ;)). Is it possible to apply our GPL w/ CPE if we port it? Anyway, I have started TrueType loading. I attached what I have so far as archive if you want to take a look or continue working on it. Note there's no license header attached yet and there's some code from a Java LGPLed TTF editor in it! I can identify those parts later on if needed. ps. Apple's patents for ttf hinting are expiring in a year, am I wrong? What a complicated world we live in, mattaku... :D col...@da... wrote: > > Hi guys, > > I'm new here so I don't know the status of the project too well.

Hi Maciej, If we can target cli:pure, we could as well use the original sources for the time being. Thanks for the patent info, but what about the OpenType patents Adobe holds? I believe OpenType/TrueType are close in definition? Mike > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Maciej Jagiello [mailto:him...@o2...] > Gesendet: Montag, 22.

It is just a preference. C# is the language of choice for .NET and I'd say most .NET devs are familiar with C#. Maintaining a C++/CLI project is possible, but not everyone is capable of doing so. Finally some of us do not want to reuse legacy code... Mike > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: col...@da... [mailto:col...@da...] > Gesendet: Dienstag, 23.
