[etoys-dev] FFI on Etoys dev image

[Ricardo Moran]

I'm currently using FFI in PhysicalEtoys to talk to the avr programmer and
upload programs to the arduino board. This used to work well in the previous
etoys-dev image. I could use the old image without problems but the thing
is: now I'm trying to generate arduino programs from smalltalk code and,
because of the experiments I'm doing, I need some of the compiler's new
stuff (such as Pragmas... well, they're not actually new but the old Etoys
image doesn't have them). Also, now that I learned to use Monticello I very
much like using the latest image :)

For now, I'm using the squeak image to develop this stuff. Maybe by the time
I finish working on this, Etoys would be a package on top of Squeak and we
will all be happy :)

Cheers
Richo
