[squeak-dev] How to log in console in Windows

Hi folks!

I am calling a external shared library with FFI. This library does some puts(""); or printf(); In Linux, I open Squeak from command line and I can see the outputs of puts() and printf() in the console where I started Squeak. The problem is in Windows. I tried opening Squeak from cmd but didn't work. Nothing is shown in the console. Is there a way of doing this ?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Mariano

I don't see other options than recompiling VM to use main() entry
point instead of winMain().

Yes; recompile using the -mconsole flag insterad of the -mwindows flag. I think it's in LDFLAGS.

Mmmm I though there could be a way to do it without having to compile :( . I have never did this in windows. Is is explained somewhere how to compile Squeak for windows?

Thanks for the help!

It's not so hard :)

Another option, would be to redirect stdin/stdout using STDC library
facilities to own stream(s). But you need to know how the external
library links with STDC library, to be able to redirect these streams.
I don't remember details, but i suppose it is possible.
