Embeddinator-4000 is a tool to turn existing .NET libraries into libraries that can be consumed by other languages.

It is a tool that takes a .NET assembly and generates the necessary glue to surface the .NET API as a native API. The goal is to surface .NET libraries to all ecosystems where Mono/Xamarin run, and for each platform we provide an interface that is native to that platform as well as the tools needed to turn a .NET library into something that can be consumed on that platform.

This is a work in progress, the initial goals for this project are to surface .NET to C, C++, Objective-C (across the various Apple platforms) and Java (Android and regular Java).

The project is still under heavy development. Usage under mission-critical production scenarios is not advised. Please report any bugs or suggestions so we can improve the tool.

Building

Clone this repository and initialize/update submodules as well as solution depends on them.

Open the solution in build/MonoEmbeddinator4000.sln with Visual Studio or Xamarin Studio and press F7.

Usage

To generate bindings for a managed library you invoke the MonoEmbeddinator4000.exe command line tool.

If you do not pass any arguments, you will get a list of the tool options:

MonoEmbeddinator4000.exe [options]+ ManagedAssembly.dll
Generates target language bindings for interop with managed code.

      --gen=VALUE            target language: c, c++, obj-c (defaults to c)
      --platform=VALUE       target platform: android, windows, macos, ios, watchos, tvos
  -o, --out=VALUE            output directory
  -c, --compile              compiles the generated output
      --dll, --shared        compiles as a shared library / DLL
      --vs=VALUE             Visual Studio version for compilation: 2012, 2013, 2015, Latest (defaults to Latest)
  -v, --verbose              generates diagnostic verbose output
  -h, --help                 show this message and exit

To generate C bindings for a Xamarin.Foo.dll assembly you would call the tool like:

MonoEmbeddinator4000.exe -gen=c -out=foo Xamarin.Foo.dll
