The NML libraries are relatively independent from the rest of EMC2. You
could just make a header/class interface/whatever the C# equivalent is
for the NML library - more or less a c# implementation of
emc/nml_intf/emc.{cc,hh}. Where you may get into trouble is with the
emc.hh file - that's where the specific NML messages are defined, and
that's GPL - not LGPL. Anything based on it would have to be GPL as
well (hopefully not a problem :) ).
I suspect that the easier methods are based on using one or more of the
existing programs that already have NML implementations: emcsh or
emcrsh. And maybe HALUI or similar. Then there's the python library,
which can be pretty easily used for various functions (see jdi.py for a
simple example).
You may also want to think about going straight to HAL, if you want to
bypass the interpreter anyway. (the trajectory planner is still quite
useful though)
