I discussed my work a bit in Icesoft's thread, but I realized I'm probably not going to be up for completing this project anytime soon due to other commitments.
Consequently, I'm handing out what I do have done to the community, in case anyone would benefit from it or wants to finish it out.
I documented the steps I followed to produce a wrapper in two posts, one here and the other here.
An archive of the project as I left it can be found here.
This contains a copy of the Chipmunk tree, the .pb code I was working with, and some of the intermediate working documents that resulted; there's even a windows x86 library file you can drop in to your PB 5 final x86 userlibraries folder if you're feeling adventurous.
The .pbi is not complete; there are a bunch of necessary structures that aren't in place, so there's that to do. There could be other omissions as well.
In theory, repeating the steps from my posts with mingw-w64 should produce something usable with PB 5 x64 for windows, but I never got around to testing that. Also in theory, my groundwork should function on macOS and linux, but I didn't test that either.
The upstream Chipmunk source itself is obviously still governed by the license found in the Chipmunk-6.1.1-x86 tree (I named it that because I intended to have separate trees for each target); all of my code (in the .pb files) can be considered public domain, although if anyone did do anything more with this it'd be nice if I got a little credit. :)
I'll go ahead and apologize in advance to anyone who chooses to actually look at the code I wrote. I just don't have it in me to clean it up right now, and I'm probably not in a position to do much in the way of support; I'm sure there's problems, and all I can really promise is to wish good luck to anyone who embarks on this journey.
Partial Open Source Chipmunk Wrapper for PureBasic
Re: Partial Open Source Chipmunk Wrapper for PureBasic
Some people read romance novels, other Science fiction,
Me.., I love to read the source code from others projects to compare to what I have done to see if I do actually know what I am doin
and bragging about knowing , Oh and Sci Fi stuff too, gotta have me some SciFi.
So Thanks void, really cool of you to pass this on to all of us, much appreciated. will be reading it all so I can see how the story ends.
