Mac OS X Support

[superquadratic]

Hi Steve,

I'd love to use Gleed2D on Mac OS X. You mentioned that you are working on a MonoGame port. Any news on that?

I played around with the sources on Mac OS X using Xamarin Studio (aka. MonoDevelop). Replacing XNA by MonoGame worked out of the box, except for Mouse.WindowHandle = _drawSurface; in XnaGame.cs, because WindowHandle isn't writable. Is that the issue you are describing in the StackOverflow question?

When commenting that line out (just to make it compile), the application crashes at startup with a StructureMapException in Gleed2D.Core.Controls.AssetsControl.InitializeComponent.

Unfortunately, I don't know much about either .NET/XNA or Mono/MonoGame, so I'm stuck here. Maybe you have a hint on how to continue, or done some work in that direction yourself?

Cheers,
Guido

Hi Guido,
I had to stop working on getting the actual tool (Gleed2D.exe) working with MonoGame due to the issue I mentioned in that post.

However, I have since got all the runtime assemblies working with MonoGame (Gleed2D.InGame.dll etc.)

I also renamed the tool Oglr (Open Generic Level editoR). I did this to differentiate it from the old GLEED2D tool and source code on CodePlex. I left the MonoGame project for the exe in the source as I do plan on revisiting the issue at some point.

Cheers,

Steve

For what it's worth, I'd also love to see Gleed2D running on MonoGame. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar enough with the MonoGame internals to be of much help.
