Hi Ben,
my understanding is that SetDllDirectory only affects the search path of
libraries that are loaded at *run-time* with LoadLibrary.
What I'm asking for is a mechanism that works at *load-time*, when a
library I'm accessing directly depends on another one which I'm not
targeting directly.
But I'll try whether SetDllDirectory also affects load-time searches.
Anyway, I hope future versions of the UFFI to offer setting the search
paths more easily.
Greetings
Raffaello

Hi,
say I want to directly use a library that depends on other libraries
in different folders. How does UFFI proceed to find these other
libraries?
Is there a way to specify the search folders in UFFI?
I'm on Windows and in Pharo5/6.

I assume you mean specifying the search path outside of Pharo.
Perhaps call SetDllDirectory via Pharo FFI.
(YMMV disclaimer, my knowledge of this is a few minutes searching)
