Hi Annik, long time without a response to this, I'm sorry. I'm just catching up with this stuff (I'm really full of work this days).
The problem here is that FFI does not have the type "int". You need to choose between short, ushort, long and ulong (depending of the real size you need). And you do not have also char** (or any other pointer-pointer). But the non-typed nature of C comes to help here too :) You can easily declare: <apicall: void 'gst_init' (short ulong) module: 'blabla'> since basically size will be the same (and that's the only thing that really matters). you can see the allowed types here: ExternalType class>>#initializeFFIConstants cheers, Esteban On Sat, Nov 9, 2013 at 10:09 AM, <b...@openinworld.com> wrote: > > Hi Annick, > > I hope you are able to achieve what you are aiming for (I don't have the > technical knowledge to help) but as a bystander I must make an observation > that I hope will be useful to you. > > While your response "I have answered I think" could be technically correct > if someone wade through the whole thread, its not really an appropriate > answer to a specific question from someone whom you are asking devote their > valuable time to your problem.
