Thanks for your reply.

Do you have a solution for How to compile c# code with Nmath lib into Java or linux version?

Thanks

Hello Shan Bai,

It appears that this is not possible. In reading through the Grasshopper documentation I came across this page:

http://dev.mainsoft.com/Documentation&src=vmwdoc_Runtime_Framework_overview_143.htm.

The two main issues that I see are:

1. Unsafe code is not supported.
2. Calling native Win32 APIs (Interop, PInvoke) is not supported.

NMath makes calls to MKL via PInvoke and we use unsafe code blocks to manipulate data structures directly in memory. Much of NMath would not be usable via Grasshopper.

I got the Mono of Nmath, but looks a little document in the package. Can I register the Mono of Nmath in my Grasshopper java project? ( I would like use my c# code directly compiled to Java)
If so, what should I do?

Thanks
