Hi, there.<div><br></div><div>The problem was that external dependencies could not be resolved. The "Dependecy Walker" [1][2] for Windows helped discover that issue. So, "module not found" actually meant "cannot load module because the operating system could not load all dependent modules". Or something like that. :-)</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Marcel</div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="http://www.dependencywalker.com/" style="font-size: 10pt;line-height: 1.5">http://www.dependencywalker.com/</a></div><div>[2] <a href="https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies" style="font-size: 10pt;line-height: 1.5">https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies</a> (re-write for Windows 10)</div><div class="mb_sig"></div><blockquote class="history_container" type="cite" style="border-left-style:solid;border-width:1px; margin-top:20px; margin-left:0px;padding-left:10px;">

The main problem is that the external module is not found, although it is at a location in which it should be found. This happens on a variety of VMs.<br><br>You can reproduce this by installing the latest FFI from source.squeak.org and then copying SqueakFFIPrims.dll to SqueakFFIPrims2.dll, changing a few of the FFITestLibrary cdecls to point to the copied dll, and then run the tests. <br><br>The system32 and user32 libraries and the ordinary SqueakFFIPlugin code is running just fine, so I get the impression that I am missing something basic here. I am grateful for any insights on this. Otherwise my next step would be to create a debug build and dive into the inner workings of the FFI plugin :)<br><br>Bests<br>Patrick <br><br></div></blockquote>
