[squeak-dev] FFI + Windows + Cygwin
 
|
Hi everybody. I am developing SqueakDBX a openDBX C library. We are using FFI to call C functions. OpenDBX has always been compiled in linux and mac. But since the last version, it works under Windows using Cygwin or WinGW. I could test the library and works well (in windows). It has been generated the necessary .dlls. The problem is that theese .dlls files are in c:/cygwin/usr/lib/* . And, I can't "see" those functions from FFI.
In FFI I am using apicall instead of cdecl (the one I use under linux). I have never work with C under linux. Can someone help me? thanks, Mariano |

I am sorry, I forgot to tell the real error I have in FFI. When I try to run a simple test that uses FFI it call externalCallFailed with a message: "unable to find function address".

I am sorry for my newbie questions, but I have never program C in windows. When I compiled openDBX with cygwin, it generated thees files libopendbx.a , libopendbx.la y libopendbx.dll.a I mean, there isn't a real XXX.dll so that windows can find it. Is this ok? very thanks, mariano

Igor: Thanks a lot for the answer. Norbert (openDBX author) tell me that openDBX can be compiled with both of them: cygwin and winGW. As I know cygwin I tried with it and not with winGW. Why do you think I could use MinGW? which are the difference between them (MinGW and Cygwin) ? I am asking just because I don't know. very thanks, Mariano

Excellent!!! Very thanks. As fast as I could, I will test it using WinGW and I will let you know the results.

Here I am again. I have been trying to compile OpenDBX with both of them: Cygwin and MinGW. As I have already told you before, with cygwin openDBX compiles perfectly (although I cannot see the dll from FFI), but I had some problems with MinGW. These problems are because OpenDBX does not use any cross-platform socket library wrapper but use native Unix socket libraries. So, I cannot compile this with MinGW. I could, but I have to do this:
Anyway, suppose I cannot use MinGW or imagine MinGW doesn't exist, can I use cygwin with FFI? I mean, can I compile something with cygwin so that FFI can use is? If so, how can I do this? I ask because I know cygwin applications must be distributed with a cygwin dll. I have this: - OpenDBX library -> c:\mariano\opendbx-1.3.10\ - Cygwin -> c:\cygwin\ - MySQL -> c:\MySQL\ - Postgres -> c:\PostgreSQL\ - PATH variable: .....;c:\msys\1.0\bin\;c:\cygwin\bin\;C:\MySQL\bin After compiling, I have in c:\cygwin\usr\local\lib\ these files: libopendbx.a, libopendbx.a.dll, libopendbx.la, libopendbxplus.a, libopendbxplus.a.dll and libopendbxplus.la. There are also, theese folders: c:\cygwin\usr\local\lib\opendbx\ with these files: cygpgsqlbackend-1.dll, libpgsqlbackend.a, libpgsqlbackend.la and libpgsqlbackend.a.dll c:\cygwin\usr\local\lib\pkgconfig\ with file: opendbx.pc Now, what should I do with this? is this right? very thanks, Mariano On Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 5:20 PM, Mariano Martinez Peck <[hidden email]> wrote: Excellent!!!
