[request] Windows: want to get Sikuli running with .NET using IKVM

[RaiMan]

Hi Raiman,

I have successfully installed sikuli and gotten it to work in Eclipse. My goal is to be able to use sikuli in the .NET framework. I used ikvm to wrap sikuli-java into a dll file. Then, when I attempt to use it in my C# code, I can use screen.type("foo") without any problem. However when I attempt to use Sikuli with images I am running into an error.

[error] ResourceLoaderBasic: checkLibsDir: Fatal error 107: problem copying jawt.dll
File not found
[error] Terminating SikuliX after a fatal error(107)! Sorry, but it makes no sense to continue!

The code I am running has the exact functionality as the code in Java:
if (screen.exists(windowsStartButtonPattern, 0.8) != null)
{ stuff }

I know that Sikuli wasn't developed for .NET, but I am hoping you might be able to tell me something about the way Sikuli works that would explain why it attempts to copy dll files when using images, where it attempts to put them, etc, and maybe even why the system is unable to copy the file.

I have thoroughly explored a lot of the options concerning C# and Sikuli including SikuliIntegrator and Sikuli4Net as well as free interop services between Java and C#, and I think that ikvm is my best option.

While poking around I vaguely remember seeing something that may have indicated that you guys are developing some sort of interface for .NET, so I thought I would just ask you here if you are.

Thanks for your time,
Matt

@your answer in the related question:
then I have to pause with this issue for now, since I have other priorities.
I will come back to it as soon as possible.

Ok, thank you for your help.

I'm looking forward to getting this working someday.
