[Pharo-project] MPEG in Pharo depricated why?

by Torsten Bergmann

>it requires FFI in the image, did we decide FFI and Alien should be in Pharo? >I think that is an open question. FFI not in the core - but maybe in the dev-image. Alien is AFAIK still not avaible for all major platforms >(b) I couldn't find any WIndow's users to help test it. Perhaps they don't exist? I use pharo/squeak on windows but I'm not a sophie user. There are other "pharo on windows" users too ... so just post and I'm sure you will find someone who is able to try out things. Even if windows may not be the typical dev platform for most of us it is still the largest consumer platform for commercial apps.

I think that is an open question. Is alien working on windows? May be we could have FFI and Alien FFI in the process of making sure that alien will work everywhere.

Re: [Pharo-project] file encodings

Currently default behaviour depends on LanguageEnvironment... ... which should have hacks depending on the underlying platform. So I agree with John: BEWARE. My workaround was not intended as a general fix, but just a helper for Tudor...
