Hi,
You shouldn't be sorry - I'm glad for proposals and new ideas!
I'm still not sure whether this is the right angle to attack this
problem from, but until I hear something else (from for example Cliff
Brake who announced the gtk-sharp packages.
You're rigth about C# - it's developed by Microsoft, but it's a
industrial standard (ECMA) and it has several high-level aspect which I
fancy a lot. That's why I want to use it - simply because I'm more
productive in C# than in C++ (yet).
Actually I'm still quite sure that I'm going to develop mostly on C++ at
OpenMoko-related stuff, but I became quite curious when I saw the mail
earlier from Cliff. So I'm diving into it to learn a bit :-)
Regards,
Mikkel

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
Yes, I did see that. And I have the src locally
(~/moko/openmoko/trunk/src/target/OM-2007/openmoko-libs/libmokoui) which
is also well-documented.
The problem is that C# cannot use the C-files as references (directly),
but instead has to use the libraries (the result of the C-files after
compilation) with a lot of interoping - and that is really a error-prone
task (just as an example byte in C corresponds to unsigned char in C#
etc).
To the C-files could be used as documentation for making the interoping,
and that's exactly what Swig does. So I'm going to test if those
autogenerated C#-classes is usable.
ok, sorry I couldn't be of more help - I am never sure if everyone else has
the same "crack addiction" that I have about all news openmoko-related. I
check a few times a day :)
I am not a C# (or really C-anything developer), so while I understand the
basic details of your response - I have never had to do anything like that
- sounds like an ugly integration though. The abstraction you propose in
your follow-up email sounds like a good way to manage it though.
The benefit of using C# is to run code developed for WM?
I don't know much about it as a language except that it was originally
(IIRC) developed for windows (by MS?)
I hope you don't mind, but I am copying the list on this - it might be
educational to more than me.
Regards,
Mikkel

Hi,
How shoud I refer to libmokoui (e.g. MokoApplication and MokoAlignment)
from within a Mono-application?
I assume you have seen this? http://folks.o-hand.com/thomas/libmokoui2/
from Thomas' blog.
it looks pretty well documented - not sure if you meant v2 above though
(although prob development should be done against v2 if possible)
HTH,
j.
Can anyone be so kind to just post a very small hello world-program?
I've been through the MokoMakefile-procedure, so I have all the
sources.
Best regards,
Mikkel Meyer Andersen

Hi,
Oh, that's really nice! Thanks a lot - also for the quick reply. Well,
on the other hand I'll not get much sleep this weekend now :-) Just
kidding, thanks.

Is this meaning that it's possible to make C#-applications to
OpenMoko
with GTK as GUI (as opposed to e.g. WinForms)?
Yes.
How much of the Mono
library is supported? I'm having a bit trouble finding documentation
on
this on the wiki, sorry.
Everything in the main mono package as far as I know -- just install
as much as you need. You can browse the following for a list of
components:

I'm sure additional mono libs and apps from other projects will be
added in the future as there is need.
