Dear list members, On going through the article on the FFI by Eli Barzilay and Dmitry Orlovsky http://www.ccs.neu.edu/scheme/pubs/scheme04-bo.pdf
It says: "libffi is maintained and distributed as part of the GCC project, but its goal is to provide a portable library. We use it for all platforms that PLT Scheme targets, including Windows (using a slightly adapted version that works with Microsoft’s compiler, courtesy of the Thomas Heller [13])." Does that mean that if I'm using the Windows version of Racket and I want to use the FFI to interface to ImageMagick, that the ImageMagick Windows executable must also be compiled with the microsoft C compiler rather than with MingW GCC ? A few years ago when I interfaced ImageMagick to Ruby using Ruby's ImageMagick interface "RMagick" there was a problem for a while about RMagick being compiled with Microsoft Visual C compiler (it may have been a particular version of the Visual C compiler?) and I think the ImageMagick executable for windows was compiled with MingW GCC. The problem was resolved when the RMagick interface was compiled using the same compiler as ImageMagick. Thanks, Harry Spier
