Miguel de Icaza took that code and got it running on Mono back in the day, and a few months ago for kicks I compiled it and it still runs. Quite buggy though.

> Wonder if it can be built for modern Linux

I think the question nowadays would be "What's the least amount of tokens I could use for making this build on modern Linux?", with any amount of tokens, there isn't much you couldn't do with enough time.

No, the question is "Wonder if it can be built for modern Linux" not "Wonder how much slop I can generate".

		> No, the question is "Wonder if it can be built for modern Linux" But of course it can, anything is doable with enough time and resources.

Pinta is the continuation of this source, it already exists.

Note Pinta was only ever a port of the engine, Pinta's UI is a from-scratch Gtk# clone. Given the compelling reason to use Paint.NET was arguably the UI, that's a pretty big drawback.

		The UI is pretty similar. It's very intuitive for someone used to Paint.NET. Pinta definitely satisfies my desire for Paint.NET on Linux.
