what's happening when the vm is a shared library

Hi,
i'm working on the "squeak on android" Project (but i'm absolutely new
to squeak-vm-hacking):
http://code.google.com/p/squeak-android-vm/
currently i try to get the socket-stuff working - with limited success :-(
The squeak vm is a shared library compiled with the android-ndk and
wrapped by an android-java app, making jni-calls.
Though the SocketPlugin does compile with the ndk, any call to the
Plugin produces a primitiveFailed-Exception. Even when i replace the
code of a primitive with dummy-code that returns static values and
does not execute any plattform-specific code.
Do i need to redirect the primitive-calls somehow through the java-app
and make calls to the shared-library, or should the primitives just
work on android?
would be greateful for any tips/ hints/ discussions ...
regards,
Stefan

For example, a win32 platform code having stubs (see refs to
NO_NETWORK in sources).

found nothing regarding "NO_NETWORK" in the sources.
btw: when i do "nm libsqueakvm.so | grep primitive" in a cygwin
console, all the Socket-/ and Resolver-Primitives show up

got it: after some research i found out, that i had to add the
SocketPlugin_exports to the sqNamedPrims.h

Correct. There's a bit of magic in the process right now. Most plugins
haven't been generated for Android since they're not supported. You
either need to hack sqNamedPrims.h or you need to compile SocketPlugin
as an external plugin and implement the necessary lookup code in the
main VM :-) For now, I'd say just hacking sqNamedPrims.h is the right thing.

Good luck and let us know how it goes. Having sockets work would be
positively *awesome* because it gives us VNC and other remote control
options!

the sockets work, but the vnc-server seems to be broken.
i filed in RFB.33.cs and started the server, but when i connect with a
vnc-client (tried RealVNC and TightVNC) an Exception comes up
complaining about a missing method "isBigEndian" in the
SystemDictionary.
After adding the method and returning "false", the vnc-client seems to
loose the connection right after establishing it (not sure if he
really establishes the connection - the client says only "connection
closed").
I tried this with the android-image and with a clean squeak 3.10.2 -
same effect.

Ideas, anyone?
regards,
Stefan
