Build problems

[GustavoHennig]

Hi,
I am trying to build the project and I have many broken references and there are several projects unavailable. Is this guide still valid?

@GustavoHennig

Thank you for your interest.
That guide is too old.
I will revise it again later.

at this moment, I provide an early help first.

How to Build the HtmlRenderer

2018, June

OS: Win10
Visual Studio: 2017

Screenshot step-by-step is here :)

---

1. Clone
I start with a folder name 'd:\projects'

We need 2 projects

1. HtmlRenderer (https://github.com/LayoutFarm/HtmlRenderer, master branch)
2. PixelFarm (https://github.com/PaintLab/PixelFarm, master branch)

clone it into the d:\projects folder

pic 1: the 2 projects must be placed in the same level like this picture, there are cross-references between them

2. Build PixelFarm

pic 2: VS2017, Open that MiniDev.sln in that folder

Thank you, it worked!

I had to do 2 small changes to run:

• Comment the line: CommonTextServiceSetup.cs:58 (I don't have the file: "d:/test/icu60/brkitr_src/dictionaries")
• I had to put this line in the main, due an exception in the float.parse. (In my location settings "," is the decimal separator).
  Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-US");

[prepare]

If you want that data ...
"d:/test/icu60/brkitr_src/dictionaries" =>

It is 'raw' Icu data for text-break

It try to look for this ...
https://github.com/PaintLab/PixelFarm/tree/dev/src/PixelFarm/Typography/Typography.TextBreak/icu61/brkitr/dictionaries

or download the original Icu data (http://cldr.unicode.org/)

More info about HtmlRenderer ...
see #15

This guide has been changed again.

Previously, the Typography lib is embeded in the PixelFarm.

Now, I spin off the Typography, and remove it from PixelFarm.

---

When one build the PixelFarm.
You need to clone the Typography into the folder (Typography) at
the same level as PixelFarm. (like the HtmlRenderer need the PixelFarm on the same level)

Failed to build the Typography!
The error is found at: BitmapFontMx->ReadGlyphImages method.
It seems that a GetBuffer method is missing in type PixelFarm.CpuBlit.ActualBitmap.

[prepare]

Hello @jingyiliu

I forget to upload latest Typography.

The error should be fixed with this LayoutFarm/Typography@3b990f0

[jingyiliu]

It works now.
Thank you for your quick response.
