we are using it with success... installed this way:
Gofer it
squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository';
package: 'ConfigurationOfFFI';
load.
(ConfigurationOfFFI project version: '1.5') load.
Gofer it
squeaksource: 'Alien';
package: 'Alien';
load.
not sure if you need the both, but having them is easier: you can subclass
ExternalLibrary, etc.... and use FFI in the old way <apicall:>, and when you
need a callback you use alien Callback.
(works on pharo 1.3 and 1.4)
best,
Esteban
