It's C++, and that is famously difficult to use via system linkage unless you write the linkage in C++ exporting C interfaces with the `extern "C"` mechanism. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonadhttp://sinenomine.net
Re: Perl6 and wxwidgets
GTK::Simple is a recent example of how to make these bindings: https://github.com/perl6/gtk-simple/ Am 08.06.2014 12:56, schrieb Moritz Lenz: > Hallo Erik, > > On 08.06.2014 12:54, Erik Colson wrote: >> Is it possible to use an external C-library like wxwidgets from perl6/moarvm >> ? >> If so, is there any doc how this can be achieved ? > It is, through the NativeCall library: https://github.com/jnthn/zavolaj/ > > Cheers, > Moritz

This works across jvm, moar and parrot. For a few examples, check out these projects: https://github.com/avuserow/perl6-audio-taglib-simple/ https://github.com/avuserow/perl6-compress-snappy/ https://github.com/retupmoca/P6-Compress-Zlib-Raw/ https://github.com/dagurval/perl6-gd-raw/ https://github.com/perl6/gtk-simple/ https://github.com/mrhdias/perl6-Imlib2/ Hope to help! - Timo signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
