First, can I request that the list moderators make it so that any e-mails sent out via this list have their subject prefixed with "[mono-cxxi]"? Most other mailing lists do this & it makes it easier to pick those messages out from a busy inbox.
Currently, I'm reading over the source code, so that I can learn how mono-cxxi works. So far, the code seems simple and straightforward, so the real challenge is the sheer volume of it. At some point in my reading, I should be able to produce some decent developer documentation that others can use to get into the project more quickly.
I was wondering, what sort of work is going on with mono-cxxi these days? I've seen mentions of various things (e.g. using clang instead of gcc-xml) but I've seen no commits to
the repos at
github.com/mono/cxxi/ for five months.
Finally, if you're just looking for a Qt binding that works under Linux and MS Windows, I'm happy to announce that the kde-bindings mailing list has FINALLY put together a working cross-platform version of smokegen, smokeqt, and assemblygen! It features some very nice modifications to the Qt interface to make it more C# compliant, e.g. get/set functions are wrapped with property accessors, enum values allow the "bitwise or" operator, and Qt objects support C#-style events in addition to the usual QObject.Connect() facility. If you're all interested, I'll put together the MS Windows build instructions, and the RPM spec files I use under Fedora Core 16, and post them here.
