I've successfully built the FFI gem on my Win7 x64 machine, but the specs currently fail:
*E:/Source/ffi/lib/ffi/library.rb:147:in `attach_function': Function 'strdup' not* * found in [msvcrt.dll] (FFI::NotFoundError)* * from E:/Source/ffi/spec/ffi/strptr_spec.rb:33:in `<module:StrPtr>'* This is a known problem, but it hasn't been fixed yet: http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-ffi/browse_thread/thread/c40766b574a15962 > Thats just a symbol lookup problem. All the traditional libc symbols > in msvcrt.dll have an underscore prepended, so that test should have a > special case for win32 in it. My first goal is to fix any failing specs. Any help would be appreciated. -Charles On Thu, Mar 24, 2011 at 1:58 PM, Charles Strahan < charles.c.stra...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Another idea… what about starting from http://github.com/ffi and replacing >> the C extension with C# code? > > > That's a great idea, Tomas.
