IronSoftware.Internals

Components which can be shared between IronSoftware Libraries

IronSoftware.Analytics

A library for sending anonymous analytics and crash data from within Iron Software trials

Nuget Dependencies: Newtonsoft.JSON Assembly Dependencies: System.Web (Framework Nuget)

Never Obfuscate: IronSoftware.Analytics.Events.* (IronSoftware.Analytics.Events.AnalyticsEvent)

Ideas:

• Look for a Class imported only in VB to report stats on "C#" vs. "VB" vs. "F#"

Ironsoftware.Interop

A fork of NativeLibraryLoader

• Improved Linux and BSD support. Works for .Net 4.0 and .Net Standard 2.0
• Also includes a console app to upgrade in InteropDotNet cs file to NativeLibraryLoader notation
• Supports side-by-side use of 2 different versions of the same DLL

To use: I recommend using the IronNativeLibraryFactory.CreateCrossPlatformNative method to generate a NativeLibrary

• XMLDocs Intellisense explains usage
• Creates a NativeLibrary instance that works on Windows, Linux and Mac.
• Supports net40, netstandard >= 2.0, netcore >= 2.0 and mono without additional configuration.
• On Linux and mac will automatically search package managers (apt-get, yum, homebrew...) and system environment paths (LD_LIBRARY_PATH, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, PATH...) to find binaries
• On Windows will automatically load MSVC runtime if those binaries are present in the path specified in CreateCrossPlatformNative which contains your DLLs. We can copy these from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Redist\MSVC\14.24.28127\x64 and x86 respectively
• On older Windows OSs such as Server 2012, MSVC must always be manually installed because the OS does not have all the prerequisites for the Resits approach above. A System.FileLoadException will be thrown with bit architecture-aware instructions on how to install MSVC on that OS.
• Will automatically add x64 or x86 to binary paths if those folders are present and contain files

NativeLibrary Lept = IronNativeLibraryFactory.CreateCrossPlatformNative(new[] { "leptonica-1.78.0.dll", "liblept.so.5", "liblept.5.so", "liblept.5.dylib", "liblept.dylib" }, true, new[] { Path.GetFullPath("MyBinaryPath") });
