But just don't fall into delusion, that you can start using external library (either written in C or C# or in Java), without knowing at all the foreign language in which library are written, and just after few mouse clicks in Pharo image.
Hello,
In last week I implement java binding with some C library (it containes callbacks). Before I never doing this kind of work in java. And It will not simple task. I use JNA - analogous FFI libraries in smalltalk. So I done it. And It work from my tests. But when I deploy It to apatch server as servlet it cant work. Java craches in arbitrarily places of dll calling.Solutions will be simplest C dll wrapper which provides two functions without callbacks. Similar problems will be when we doing java connect to com-object. Solutions will be C# socket server :))
So Java connection to foreign world is not easy. Although there is good docs.
That's what i trying to say. Someone have to get his hands dirty and do it. Fail, fix & repeat until its done. There is no magic. And it always will be hard and error prone.
