Hi all,

Thanks to AI. I was able to successfully a DLL for the MGRX library and make a wrapper. However it is very wonky while working under windows.

--some wrapper code 
public constant GR_frameDriver = define_c_struct({ 
	C_INT, --mode 
	C_INT, --rmode 
	C_INT, --is_video 
	C_INT, --row_align 
	C_INT, --num_planes

	C_UINT, --grColor c 
	C_INT, --x

	C_INT, --w 
	C_INT, --h 
	C_UINT, --grcolor 
	C_INT, --x 
	C_INT, --y 
	C_INT, --w 
	C_INT, --h 
	C_POINTER, --bmp

	C_UINT, --fg

	C_UINT, --bg 
	C_POINTER, --dst

}) 
 
public constant xGrSetDriver = define_c_func(mg,"+GrSetDriver",{C_POINTER},C_INT) 
 
public function GrSetDriver(object drvspec) 
	return c_func(xGrSetDriver,{drvspec}) 
end function 
 
public constant xGrSetDriverExt = define_c_func(mg,"+GrSetDriverExt",{C_POINTER,C_POINTER},C_INT) 
 
public function GrSetDriverExt(object drvspec,object drvopt) 
	return c_func(xGrSetDriverExt,{drvspec,drvopt}) 
end function 
 
public constant xGrSetMode = define_c_func(mg,"+GrSetMode",{C_INT,C_POINTER},C_INT) 
 
public function GrSetMode(GrGraphicsMode which,object x) 
	return c_func(xGrSetMode,{which,x}) 
end function 

[https://www.fgrim.com/mgrx/mgrxpm.htm#hello] - C Min example

--Minimal example loosely converted from the C example 
include std/ffi.e 
include mgrx.e 
include mgrxkeys.e 
 
atom ev = allocate_struct(GrEvent) 
 
-- Initialize graphics mode and events 
GrSetMode(GR_default_graphics, NULL) 
GrEventInit() 
 
-- Draw outer and inner borders 
GrBox(0, 0, GrMaxX(), GrMaxY(), GrWhite()) 
GrBox(2, 2, GrMaxX() - 2, GrMaxY() - 2, GrWhite()) 
 
-- Wait for user interaction (key press or mouse click) 
GrEventWaitKeyOrClick(ev) 
 
-- Clean up and exit 
GrEventUnInit() 

A window shows up and you close out of it, but the box dimensions and drawing looks off.

I'm able to build the library and examples without much fuss under WSL (Linux subsystem for Windows)
