Message-ID: <20091223124806.M7643@flash.ro> Hello Mike I hope this promising project is not abandoned. It looks it has no activity since aug 2009. Please keep up the good work. i need to know a few things. I'm interested in C# programming under Linux.(via Mono) Unfortunately , the most important part for me(graphics) - System.Windows.Forms is unmaintained or/and looks horrible anyway. I think Novell guys are more interested in developing classes relevant for server-side problems,ignoring the graphical part. Is it possible(after ring3k will be completed) to "redirect" calls to System.Windows.Forms via ring3k and the rest of classes via Mono during the execution of a program? I thought that it would be possible to do this via Wine , but i've read somewhere that Mono threading model is incompatible with Wine's. Another question: Software that uses antidebugging techniques , will work under ring3k , considering that ring3k uses ptrace? I've read in ring3k README something about "patched kernel". There is a need to patch Linux kernel for ring3k to work? If it's so,where is the patch? I would be very glad in helping you as much as i can to finish ring3k.

I changed my job (and country), and the new job is considerably more busy than the old one. I haven't abandoned hope of moving the project forward, but I don't have time to write and debug code at the moment. ring3k was not designed to integrate with programs like Mono, but please feel free to have a go if you wish... Copy protection (if it does not include kernel modules) should work fine with a ring3k final product. If you have patches for the tree, I'm more than happy to apply them. thanks, Mike 2009/12/23 Victor Mierla : > Hello Mike > > I hope this promising project ?is not abandoned. > It looks it has no activity since aug 2009. > > Please keep up the good work. > > i need to know a few things. > I'm interested in C# programming under Linux.(via Mono) > Unfortunately , the most important part for me(graphics) - > System.Windows.Forms is unmaintained or/and looks horrible anyway. > I think Novell guys are more interested in developing classes relevant for > server-side problems,ignoring the graphical part. > > Is it possible(after ring3k will be completed) to "redirect" calls to > System.Windows.Forms via ring3k and the rest of classes via Mono during the > execution of a program? > > I thought that it would be possible to do this via Wine , but i've read > somewhere that Mono threading model is incompatible with Wine's. > > Another question: Software that uses antidebugging techniques , will work > under ring3k , considering that ring3k uses ptrace? > > I've read in ring3k README something about "patched kernel". > There is a need to patch Linux kernel for ring3k to work?
