[squeak-dev] Help needs for the gstreamer on os-x installation process.

In order to get the GStreamer plugin to work on OS-X in a more  
friendly fashion I need someone
with deep knowledge of ranlib, libtool, ln (etc)  to build an  
installable set of the GStreamer plugins
so that you can install the "Good" GStreamer set on an arbitrary  
macintosh without having to
install the 1000 or so packages if you follow the (very unix like)  
MacPorts or Fink installation process.

As far as I know the Linux version of the plugin is ok, and there are  
people working on the Windows flavour, but
sadly the macintosh version is not available.

John, in 64 bits linux version it does not work, the image totally breaks just trying to get the player. I think it's a vm related problem, as it also breaks when trying to play recorded sounds using the etoys "sounds" tile  (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=487871 ).

Cheers

Well it's written assuming it's interfacing to a 32bit system so when  
it does thinks like pass up an address handle or take a number value  
it assumes it's a 32bit value.

primitivegobjectfree: obj
"g_object free it "
        | gObject |

        self primitive: 'primitivegobjectfree' parameters: #(Oop).
        self var: #gObject declareC: 'gpointer  gObject'.
        gObject := self cCoerce: (interpreterProxy positive32BitValueOf: obj)  
to: 'gpointer'.
        self touch: gObject.
        self cCode: 'g_free(gObject)'.

If someone wants to tackle this then like it would become something  
more like.

primitivegobjectfree: obj
"g_object free it "
        | gObject |

        self primitive: 'primitivegobjectfree' parameters: #(Oop).
        self var: #gObject declareC: 'gpointer  gObject'.
        gObject := self cCoerce: (self positive32BitOr64BitValueOf: obj) to:  
'gpointer'.
        self touch: gObject.
        self cCode: 'g_free(gObject)'.


positive32BitOr64BitValueOf: obj
^(self sizeof: long) = 4 ifTrue: [interpreterProxy  
positive32BitValueOf: integerValue] ifFalse: [interpreterProxy  
positive64BitValueOf: obj]

Can't you make this determination at startup time and stuff the proper  
method somewhere?
