Linux support ? #157

Closed bc1bb closed 4 years ago

bc1bb commented 4 years ago

Hi, do you have Linux support in mind ? For now with mono on Linux directly i get this error: (IIRC, winforms is installed)

jusdepatate@:~$ mono EVE-O\ Preview.exe 
Invalid type EveOPreview.Services.ThumbnailManager for instance field EveOPreview.Services.ThumbnailManager+<>c__DisplayClass34_0:<>4__this

jusdepatate@:~$ cat EVE-O\ Preview.log
System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: The classes in the module cannot be loaded.

While running with CCP's wine (wine4.4-staging) and "classic" wine (wine5.5-staging), it runs but doesn't detect any client (command looked like this: WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.eve/wineenv" $HOME/.eve/wine/bin/wine EVE-O\ Preview.exe)

You could try to port your code into .NET Core which is open source & runs on Linux natively, but I'm not sure how it would run as System.Reflection is marked as partially unsupported but it looks like you don't use unsupported APIs with EVE-O.

Also I love your software :D.

Hello

Nope. This is not a question of Mono or .NET Core. The thing is that EVE-O Preview relies on Windows API called DWM. This API is not implemented in Wine (last time I checked these API method's code contained only comment "not implemented yet")
