Trying to build on Ubuntu 19 #62

Open profK opened 4 years ago

profK commented 4 years ago

Yoir build instructions are pretty minimal. Using Htmlrenderer.build and your check out git instructions, all three parts (renderer/pixel farm/ typography) all have reference errors.

Im using Rider on Ubuntu 19 if that's any help.

Complete build instructions would be really nice. I really want to port HtmlRender to Unity3D canvas but just building period is the first step...

@profK ,

Could you post some error messages?

HtmlRenderer's current version is not cross-platform yet.

I don't have experiences on building this on linux.

profK commented 4 years ago

Thats too bad. I was planning on having to do the low level drawing stuff myself (hoping you have a clean interface for that) but that the rest would build the way the previous version's core would.

I guess Im back on that until some future date

Note that if there is still a clear core separation in the source code you could point me at, I could get the build working on my own.

Isn't there a netstandard project? They are cross platform. https://github.com/LayoutFarm/HtmlRenderer/blob/master/Source/x_autogen_netstandard2.0/HtmlRenderer.One/HtmlRenderer.One.csproj

profK commented 4 years ago

It wasn't clear to me that that is buildable with dotnet cli. I can try that and see what it does.

@profK

I have a plan to separate the Html layout part and Html rendering part.

Html elements go to layout module and then go to another rendering module.

but to layout correctly, the layout engine need to know the size of text.

and the size of text depends on rendering module (to measure string)

I was planning on having to do the low level drawing stuff myself

I want to know your plan about low level drawing drawing part. esp. text rendering part.

(I'm interesting in Unity rendering engine but I don't have any experience about it)

profK commented 4 years ago

Sure, but you can make a function that returns the size of the text part of the API to the rendering layer. Then the rendering layer can be completely swapped out as long as it provides the same functionality.

On Unity. Ive already done one simple GUI system on Unity. HTML5 is going to require a bit bigger rendering API but Ive been hunting around for a GPU based 2D lib that wil render to a texture. (I might have to write it myself but thats a moderate sized project so Im trying to avoid it)

If I can render the HTML at runtime to a texture, then I can just implement your ender API ontop of it, and use the texture on a Unity UI Canvas on the other side.

prepare commented 4 years ago

you will use texture-based text-rendering right ?

prepare commented 4 years ago

If you use texture-based text-rendering, what is your technique to generate glyph-atlas ?

prepare commented 4 years ago

I ask it because I already has some texture-based text rendering ( see https://github.com/PaintLab/PixelFarm/issues/55 and https://github.com/LayoutFarm/Typography) that is designed to be text-rendering back-end of this project.

if your technique is similar, so I can figure out how to interface text-measuring in a proper way

profK commented 4 years ago

I had actually hoped that your typography library would use the same low-level draw functions. if it doesn't then I'll have to scare something up. If nothing else there is an old bitmap format that we used in games the 80s that has a converter for trutype. i always forget the name but i can hunt it up again
