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.

Greetings

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)

SetDllDirectory function

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms686203(v=vs.85).aspx

LoadLibrary function

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms684175(v=vs.85).aspx

Dynamic-Link Library Search Order
