Hello - new question:
Can FFI be used in an Alien-aware VM?
I don't understand the question. Can you ask in more detail?
TIA Eliot
Having built a new Mac VM I get "Callout mechanism not available", though the FFI classes and plugin seem to be in place (SqueakFFIPrims.bundle in 'Sqeak VM Opt.app/Contents/Resource').
Have you checked that the bindle looks right? There should be an executable SqueakFFIPrims.bundle/Contents/MacOS/SqueakFFIPrims
$ file Squeak\ VM\ Opt.app/Contents/Resources/SqueakFFIPrims.bundle/Contents/MacOS/SqueakFFIPrims Squeak VM Opt.app/Contents/Resources/SqueakFFIPrims.bundle/Contents/MacOS/SqueakFFIPrims: Mach-O bundle i386
Also, Applescript generates an error on startup at
ApplscriptInstance>>primOpenDefaultConfiguration: type subtype: subtype because the TestOSAPlugin is not defined (although this plugin was not defined in my previous 3.8-biuilt VM). Not sure if this might be related to Alien/FFI somehow..
I don't think the two are at all related.
Thanks once again for all the help (hopefully getting closer). Jay
