ThorVG and plain OpenGL

[GTSKA]

I'm trying to run ThorVG as simple as possible since EFL libraries are marked as malware by my firewall. However the most I get is a colored texture, not even a single form, trying to load svg also marks invalid argument errors. Are there examples without EFL libraries?

@GTSKA hello, probably, you can pick this patch and test? #2285 made by @onecoolx

[GTSKA]

seems pretty useful however i run Windows only, I'll give it a check anyway

I have used the EFL with thorvg on Windows without problem.
thorvg provides a BGRA buffer (or similar colorspace). If you can display such buffer with your plain opengl application, there will be no problem. You can use SDL in you application and fill an SDL_Texture with the buffer and it will work.
EFL are used only for examples, thorvg library does not depend on them

some examples are working now but specifically svg keeps telling that path is invalid

@GTSKA GLUT might be simpler than other toolkits. See this as well: https://github.com/mmaciola/thorvg-freeglut

I'm using the same as the example you shared, it does load, also I've tried both relative and absolute path
Here is a zip with code and project files

@GTSKA hmm.. if it does load, which api comes up with the invalid argument?

[hermet]

Ok, examples might not working on windows now due to the toolkit portability issue. Instead you can refer src/tools/svg2png how to load a svg on windows. I assure it works.

Oh!! thanks a lot

[GTSKA]

tried that, still same result. Invalid Argument
No idea what else to do

with EFL, it works on Windows...

[vtorri]

and the EFL are clearly not a malware

[GTSKA]

can't do much about company network policies, also I intend to run without EFL

Let's talk here: #2301
