IronSoftware.CommonLibraries

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 Dependancies: Newtonsoft.JSON Assembly Dependancies: 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 .net40 and netstandard 20
• 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 recomend using the IronNativeLibraryFactory.CreateCrossPlatformNative method to generate a NativeLibrary

• XMLDocs Intellisense explains usage
• Creates a NativeLibrary instance that just 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 is 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 addx 64 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") });
