Native AOT and Avalonia

[totiev]

It is possible use Avalonia with Native AOT ?

As far as I know current Native AOT does not support WPF and no nearest plans to support it. It seems to me it will be killer feature for Avalonia to support Native AOT.

You can already use Avalonia with NativeAOT.

Hey, so there is no way to use single file with ANGLE? Or it is possible to build .lib?

[maxkatz6]

The biggest problem with angle, is to get this lib file. If there is a guide on how to build all required lib files for statically linked Angle, it can be done and shipped with the nuget package.

[NCLnclNCL]

Yes

[hez2010]

it can be done and shipped with the nuget package

The static lib of Angle yields a 1.3G .lib file. I don't think shipping such a huge file on the nuget is a good thing...
Instead how about authoring a msbuild target to build Angle locally?

[Cubody]

Can't see any problem about size

A suitable way to build ANGLE is using vcpkg.
vcpkg install angle:x64-windows-static

I try to build it, and everything works well.

Because it is easily to build with vcpkg, I doesn't upload the lib here.

Does it work on Linux/BSD?

[peaceshi]

definitely impossible. It works on windows only.
It is strongly recommended NOT to be used by those unfamiliar with native programming.

[hez2010]

definitely impossible

No. It's possible. But to use it on Linux you need to rebuild and target muslc instead of glibc.

[DeafMan1983]

Thanks if you use Alpine or Void-Linux than you need to compile with musl-libc and OpenSuse, Ubuntu, RedHat or other with GNU glibc

[hez2010]

glibc is not compatible with static linking and can cause crashing at runtime.

In fact, I don't quite understand. Do we really need to use all the functions of SkiaSharp? If not, why not remove the unnecessary parts?
I couldn't believe that a 2D graphics library could actually reach 10mb in size.

[sgf]

Ideally the graphic library should be written in all managed code. But that's yet another non-trivial work needs years of human work which isn't realistic. If you do concern about the size of NativeAOT binary and want to get rid of the skia library, you can use static linking to link the libskia into the app directly.

Nowadays, artificial intelligence and machine learning are so highly praised. Is it possible that even this simple code translation cannot be done?

I did not reply to you, but you received the subscription message. This can only mean that there is a problem with GitHub's message sending mechanism.

But maybe someday...
