Re: tracing and logging library - GSOC Project

[Priyesh kumar]

Hi,

I was trying to make the list of platforms on which logger needs to be enhanced so that I could find the logging library as per the requirement for my proposal. It seems according to the FreeType official website support the following platforms:

• GNU/Linux
• iOS
• Android
• ChromeOS
• ReactOS
• Ghostscript

Further going through the codebase I also found out that following platforms are also supported by FreeType:

• Amiga
• Atari
• BeOS
• Mac
• OS2
• Symbian
• OpenVMS
• Windows

This seems to be a long list and hence I wanted to confirm the platforms that are actively supported and are under the scope of this project. 

Thank You...

I will definitely look into the windows library...

Thanks...

Hold your horses – what you do currently is already part of the GSoC
project!  Right now you should do some preliminary investigations only
so that you are able to write a useful proposal.

[If you want to work on that project without being part of GSoC this
 would be nice too and very welcomed, of course.]

That said, `zlog` looks indeed promising.  Not sure about the Windows
port, however; maybe this needs some extra work.

You are :-)
