What's the problem? From reading some other issues apparently 4.x is supposed to work? This message pops up even when I try to only install SharpFont 4.0.1

I'm on linux

tried building myself on linux, had to do tons of workarounds to make it build and then it still throws dllnotfoudnexceptions with missingmethod crap

Yes, building with mono on linux is broken very badly. Head is only about 20 commits from my last successful build, but I have tried 3 ugly hacks already and it is still not building. The most recent successful linux build is v4.0.1+fixes branch on mine, which is only 20 commits or so behind, if that helps.

Yes, there are a lot of disagreeable changes among that 20. I am still staying at 3.x. But that's because net2 is a must for me. (v4 dropped net2 compatibility, then it got worse and worse)

FWIW, v4.0.1 still builds with mono 4.8.0 - except note https://github.com/Robmaister/SharpFont/issues/93

I have the same issue but I'm using Windows and Visual Studio 2017. I tried also with previous .NET frameworks (4, 4.5, 4.5.1, 4.5.2) but I got the same error. I even tried both nuget versions 3.1.0/4.0.1 but without success.

I "solved" it by first installing the SharpFont.Dependencies nuget package 2.6.0, then I installed the nuget package SharpFont 4.0.1 and it worked flawlessy.

HinTak commented 7 years ago

Yes, things after 4.0.1 got very seriously broken. I have given up trying to build from git (3 ugly hacks and still not building is a bit much), and just keeping and maintaining my own heavily patched v3.1.0 and v4.0.1 branches.

I have updated my heavily patched v4.0.1 branch, and merged the net2 change and the file streaming change, so at least that's usable for me for my purpose now.

What kind of freetype native library version is required for it to work anyway? The weird name "freetype6.dll" is very confusing, that is nothing like the output I get when I compile freetype myself, I get someething like: freetype.so.2.6.1 or something like that, I dont remember. Doesnt even have the right .dll extension, but on linux I cant use .dll right? Yet I see no .so in the git checkout

You not familiar with mono? Mapping to native libraries from windows dll names are in .dll.config. SharpFont ships one , note https://github.com/Robmaister/SharpFont/issues/93 with it from v4.0 onwards. On the typical linux box, there are plenty of examples from various `-sharp` projects (nearly 40 in mine, at least):

$ find /usr/lib/mono* -type f -name '*.dll.config' | wc -l
