Mactype: MacType is now opensource.

If you find any file missing, please reply here. (please search for dependencies on internet, I won't upload them)

Sorry for my lack of time to maintenance mactype.

I have a few questions, if you don't mind:

• What is the code licensed under?
• Does the project only build the MacType dlls?

[snowie2000]

• GPLv3
• Yes, only the core mactype.dll. For mactype loader, tuner and wizard, I don't think there is anything difficult to replicate. You can surely make your own loader and make it way better than mine. My loader hasn't been updated for really a long time. However, you can still use my loader as long as the hook interface is compatible.

GPLv3

Including it as a license file might be a good idea.

Yes, only the core mactype.dll.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. I haven't been able to successfully build it yet, so I wasn't sure.

Great

Are there any plans for creating an executable that will install mactype or will we need to create our own?

Thanks!

At first I saw this image and thought it would be on Bitbucket
Thank you!
Is there a download page for this latest version?

[snowie2000]

Not yet.
I'm learning javascript these days :laughing:

@dogancelik What version is mentioned in that email?

[dogancelik]

@tanmatra MacType_dev_20160216, you can find if you google, you need to replace the DLL with the old one in MacType folder.

@synthtech: Including it as a license file might be a good idea.

In addition to LICENSE file inclusion, a (boring but necessary) GPL header is quite important for GPL projects. It is, though, rather important to add a Linking Exception for your library (or yes, use LGPL), or otherwise there will be some problem if someone contributed to your open source DLL under plain GPL and you are linking the DLL to MacType's GUI……

Other things to do to make the newly open-sourced library more serious-looking include:

• [ ] UTF-8 source code
• [ ] Add English comments, and, perhaps a space after //. Style issues should be handled by VS I guess.
• [ ] GPL comment header -- write the "foo.c: this file does foo" part seriously.
• [ ] A working README.
• [ ] An actual repo description and URL.
