until now, generation always happened in linux-side (generatedlibraries
however have been tested on windows, time to time... when
generation has nothing to do with the platform :P).
I have to say that pharo-cig is not a "pharo team" project (in
the sense any member of the pharo team can take it). While we can
have this conversation here, I would very much prefer if we have
it at https://github.com/pharo-cig/pharo-cig�� :)
Forwarding the original email.
Dear Pharo Team,
I am currently attempting to
replicate what Esteban Lorenzano did for this
Youtube Video��(Esteban
Lorenzano - Pharo-CIG: C++ Interface Generator - 23 April
2025),
which is to��generate
C Bindings for Pharo uFFI to call,��in Windows 11.
Unfortunately, I am unable to replicate the results of the
video. The results of my attempts leads to Pharo's Virtual
Machine crashing and exiting abruptly to the launcher. I am
unable to find any logs for this, and would appreciate your
support for this matter.
OS:��Windows 11
Steps to Reproduce
Step 1: Create Image
Step
2: Installing Pharo CIG
Open
Playground wtih 'Ctrl + O + P' (or 'Cmd + O + P').
Copy and paste the Installation Code from the
Pharo CIG Github.
Click the "Do it All" green triangle button on the top left of
the Playground Window.
Step
3: Installing Clang
Download and run the Pre-built binaries from this
Github page��according to your platform.
The folder named LLVM should be in your "C:\Program Files"
directory after installation for Windows 11.
Other installation methods may be used according to your
preference.
Step
4: Installing raylib
Download
or clone the raylib
Github repository.
Extract the folder ('raylib-master') if you are downloading the
repository.
Place the folder in a directory of your preference. E.g
"C:\Users\morgan\raylib-master"
Step
5: Setting Pharo CIG Requirements
CIG needs to be able to find the clang library. If it cannot
find it automatically, set the location in
LibClang>>unix64LibraryName, e.g.
- Pharo CIG Github
Open System Browser with 'Ctrl + O + B' (or 'Cmd + O + B').
Create a "win32LibraryName" method in the LibClang class under
the CIG-LibClang package to set your "libclang.dll" location.
This method is missing from the default installation.
Paste in this code (There may be whitespace character issues):
win32LibraryName
�� ��^ FFIWindowsLibraryFinder new
�� �� �� ��userPaths: #('C:\Program Files\LLVM\bin');
�� �� �� ��findAnyLibrary: #('libclang.dll')
|
Save and create the method with 'Ctrl + S' (or 'Cmd + S').
Step
6: The Example Recipe from Github
Open
Playground wtih 'Ctrl + O + P' (or 'Cmd + O + P').
Copy
and��paste the example recipe from
Github into the Playground.
Configure the example recipe from
Github.
Change "import:" and "cIncludedPath:" directories according to
your file structure. E.g
'/home/esteban/dev/vm/raylib/src/raylib.h'
�����'C:\Users\morgan\raylib-master\src\raylib.h'
Click
the "Do��it All" green triangle button on the top left of the
Playground Window. This should cause the Virtual Machine to
abruptly exit or crash.
Code
Snippet (There may be whitespace character issues):
(lib := CigCLibraryGenerator new) �� "Prefix to be added to the generated classes (structures, enums, etc.)" �� prefix: 'Ray'; �� "name of the generated package (by default, is the same as the libraryName, capitalized)" �� packageName: 'Raylib'; �� "Library name. If not unixLibraryName, macLibraryName and winLibraryName �� ��are specified, it will be taken as base name for the existing libraries �� ��(e.g. in this case raylib.so, raylib.dylib and raylib.dll)"�� �� libraryName: 'raylib'; �� "headers to import (there can be as many of them as is needed)." �� import: 'C:\Users\morgan\raylib-master\src\raylib.h'; �� import: 'C:\Users\morgan\raylib-master\src\rcamera.h'; �� "include path (-I of c compiler), to allow libclang to find other �� ��included��headers." �� cIncludePath: 'C:\Users\morgan\raylib-master\src'; �� "Since this��is a graphical library, instruct the library to run in mainthread �� ��(otherwise, default is 'same thread' which is the same thread the pharo is �� ��running)" �� �� useMainThread.
"generate the library" lib generate.
