The replacement is http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Pharo/FFI-NB

The API should be mostly if not completely compatible. If not tell us, as I need to adapt my ESUG 2013 tutorial :)

Hi guys,

I am porting packages which uses NativeBoost in Pharo <= 4 to Pharo 5 (update: #50628). Since NB is not supported anymore I would like to know which is the replacement of such library.

I found FFI is loadable in Pharo 5, but methods like #getForegroundWindow are missing.
Even worst, when I try to browse a method like

#shellExecute:lpOperation:lpFile:lpPrameters:lpDirectory:nShowCmd:

with any tool (Nautilus, Finder, etc) I get a MessageNotUnderstood: RubShoutStylerDecorator>>disableDrawingWhile:

What's your recommendation?

Cheers,

Hernán
