 hi,

 did anyone already do a wrapper for the FreeImage library??

 "
 FreeImage is an Open Source library project for developers who would 
 like to support popular graphics image formats like PNG, BMP, JPEG, 
 TIFF and others as needed by today's multimedia applications. 
 FreeImage is easy to use, fast, multithreading safe, compatible with 
 all 32-bit versions of Windows, and cross-platform (works both with 
 Linux and Mac OS X).
 "

the wrapper class is very rudimentary, but the header file port is fine.

Nice. Maybe you could stick it in the bindings project? www.dsource.org/projects/bindings Anyone with a dsource login can check things in there. --bb

I have done bindings fpr pthreads (win32) and portaudio. Does it make sense to put them there too? Ciao TomD

whow - neat. we are doing a dicom project.
i hope the final const comes about - we do not want to use 1.0.

i have been lurking for gtk ..., but nothing seems to go with images and the
like. Jascha Wetzel seems to be porting tango to 2.0 and so we are willing to
use 2.0. one thing thats badly needed is database stuff like firebird.

i think i should clarify one thing. tango is a necessary evil. much rather use
phobos, but it does not have all the goodies of tango yet. we are searching
anything that can be run with phobos (port of the hashmap etc to phobos from
tango).

what do you have against tango? If tango was shipped with DMD would you also have an issue with it? I'm not being defensive, I'm just wondering.

For what it's worth, I don't use tango. The OP just stated a strong opinion without any stated rational, I was just wondering what the rational was.

Jascha haven't been involved in our 2.0 branch so far ... he certainly is helping us in other respects though. You want a database written in D?
