Hello,
I am very interested in FlowChartX Professional for a large project however my toolchain is C++ Builder XE3, and I am not interested in using FlowChartX as an active X control, which works ok with c++ builder, as I wish to tightly integrate FlowChartX in to a project ultimately under both Mac and Win.
I would be interested in porting the source code to compile directly with C++ Builder under VCL, but later under FireMonkey (The Embarcadero Mac/Win framework), once Firemonkey has matured. This would be relatively straight forward after a VCL port.
To the FlowChartX developers (Or anyone who bought a source code license):
0. How large is the source code in terms of lines of code?
1. How difficult might this task be, knowing the source code? (I know this is arbitrary depending on experience and so on, but any feedback would be appreciated)
2. What dependencies are required to build the source as is (ATL/Boost/...)?
3. How modular is the source code? Ideally I would rip out as much as possible (Several of the layouts, import/exporting graphs and so on) to only keep the subset of features I would require and to reduce the porting effort.
4. Would the MindFusion developers be interested in putting out a C++ Builder Firemonkey/VCL version and saving me all the effort! ...kidding, sort of
Many thanks for any help on this,
- Bobby
