G'Day,
I want to access some of the libraries on the Mac, e.g. the Security library. Would I do that using FFI? Is there any documentation on FFI to get me going?
Thanks peoples
Karl
Karl,
that seems to be a viable approach. However, FFI doesn't work with the Mac VM since the pluggable stuff was introduced (try the Mac FFI example), and I don't know what the status of fixing this is. Working with FFI in an older version (eg. plain 2.7) ought to work though.
There is no documentation as such, but a few things that use FFI might work to help you. See eg. the FreeType pages on the swiki for a Mac example (which works in 2.7 as well). A Quicktime player by Jim Benson is in limbo for the same reason as above.
