Is it possible to include the processing language in Gentoo ? It is on github. Below are some links with info. It is open source. We create platforms to promote software literacy within the visual arts, and visual literacy within technology-related fields. https://processing.org It is a bit like C but with graphic bias. Easy to create graphical programs. Processing is a flexible software sketchbook and a language for learning how to code within the context of the visual arts. Since 2001, Processing has promoted software literacy within the visual arts and visual literacy within technology. There are tens of thousands of students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists who use Processing for learning and prototyping. » Free to download and open source » Interactive programs with 2D, 3D, PDF, or SVG output » OpenGL integration for accelerated 2D and 3D » For GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, Android, and ARM » Over 100 libraries extend the core software » Well documented, with many books available https://processing.org/download/support.html Current version is 3.5.3 _________________ Linuxpioneer
I had a go at writing an ebuild for this. I think the build script for processing is unworkable as-is, because it attempts to handle downloading its own dependencies, which Portage won't let it do, so the build fails as soon as ant hits the jdk_download phase. I don't know much about building Java projects (and why Processing needs to bring its own JDK in addition to one provided by Gentoo) , could anyone else shed some light on this and help? Attaching my WIP ebuild.
