Linux support #51

Open leventelist opened 4 years ago

leventelist commented 4 years ago

Does this code tested on Linux host?

terjeio commented 4 years ago

Not tested, it may be possible to run it under Mono? I do not have hardware to try.

Unfortunately, id doesn't work. I guess it misses some libraries.

The entry point method could not be loaded due to Could not load file or assembly 'PresentationFramework, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies.

Unfortunately this program uses WPF, which can be used neither with Mono, nor the new Linux release of .NET.

What would it take to make a Linux compliant version? How decoupled is the GUI code from the core?

That would be a complete rewrite?

It is MVVM based.

I wonder if something like Avalonia would be viable? Though I'm sure you have more than enough to do already! ;)

With .NET Core 3.0’s support for WPF, a WPF application can run on Linux under Wine. https://ccifra.github.io/PortingWPFAppsToLinux/Overview.html

Now as commented by @dresco, Avalonia cross plateform MVVC could be viable. Here is a feed back of a ported where the autor claims a super easy time porting from WPF to Avalonia... https://www.reddit.com/r/dotnet/comments/pl4d1o/i_finally_ported_from_wpf_to_avalonia/

Avalonia could be a great choice for an upcoming release if everything else can be built with mono but WPF.
