    any chance you could add these to the issue linked above? Will be easier than trying to find it when i come round to implementing it 🙂
  • b
    yes i add it later xD
  • b
    thanks 👌
  • b
    No problem 👍
  • b
    Oh, one more thing about skia. If you should really look at it: - it's a great thing and is used in e.g. firefox or flutter - hard to use, because the compilation process is not exactly easy
  • b
    c++ right?
  • b
    yes (and i hate c++ xD)
  • b
    but alternatively, one could also deal directly with the native interfaces. But this is only theory. (Windows: Direct2d, IOS: CoreGraphics, Android: Views, Linux: I think it is GTK?)
  • b
    but i guess if you use skia for that it presents a single interface into all those native ones?
  • b
    It should be as it actually advertises. "Skia has backends for a standard CPU-based software rasterizer"
  • b
    gotcha, ill have to have a play at some point, but i dont foresee another backend soon... im already juggling too much 🙂
  • b
    I would try it out myself. Unfortunately, there is no haxe-skia and am unfortunately failed to build a haxe-skia myself.
  • b
    i guess you just need externs for skia, no? Or is there already haxe externs?
  • b
    yes you need externs for skia. But i don't know how i can make it possible. Since I myself am not exactly c++ joyful I have real problems to get this somehow under a hat. Maybe you have to build skia as a dll first but that's really too complicated right now. how exactly it would have to look so that haxe -> hxcpp -> skia is executable I have not currently managed. Maybe I will try it again but currently I am rather frustrated.
  • b
    and no, there are no Haxe exters available
  • b
    i think ideally (at least imo) your externs would directly use the skia source and statically link... rather than messing around dlls, .o, etc
  • b
  • b
    a very brief look over the skia source is that its alot more complex than, say, raylib though... so will certainly be quite alot more effort
  • b
    and that's the crux of the matter. how the heck do i get the build process of hxcpp and skia under one lid? xD It is currently still dark magic for me.
  • b
    well, that repository above is "the way" but as i mentioned, skia is much more complex... so it certainly wont be that simple
  • b
    raylib is a few dozen C sources... and a pretty simple api
  • b
    here is the build process of skia: https://skia.org/docs/user/build/
  • b
    yeah, i saw that... im still on the "git clone" part 😄 So its pretty huge! 😮
  • b
    yes it is xD and i think that i will not be able to do it even with so little knowledge in c++.
  • b
    To be honest i was looking to build a ui library for one that runs on skia. I knew haxeui but rather the old not the new based on haxeui core and backends. But currently I just looked at your haxeui-core and find it great. Except that I miss this draw and that more or less a skia backend (or something that works similar). So thank you for your work :)
  • b
    yeah, the draw functionality will be useful, ill try an get it into the next release... i feel like it will only take a day or two to get something basic working (but ive said that before)... To be honest, i would like it too so i can create a colour selector
  • b
    skia... well, thats infinitely more complex... as you mention, even building skia is a very involved process
  • b
    Copy code

    even this has been running for the last 20 mins 😮
  • b
    yes skia xD It's a great thing, that's why chrome, firefox, android, etc. use it, but to use it yourself is really a challenge.
