Hi Yanni,
Apologies for the late reply. I'm working on something else at the moment, but will consider this when I get back to it.
Thanks for your suggestions!
Cheers,
Stewart

From Pharo, fork a shell to run something like âenv > /top/emphatic.txtâ. Or capture studio in Pharo, instead of writing to a temp file. It could be that a forkâed shell has a different environment than used by FFI. In that case the env vars may already be available through methods in the image.
For the env that runs Bonjour successfully, run the âenvâ somewhere in the script that starts that server. Again, it is possible to have different environments, but most likely the environment is inherited, so is the same. HTH

When you say "dump the environment variables", how do you go about doing that?
Cheers,

One thing I usually try in these situations is to dump the environment variables, then sort and compare for clues as to why one way works but not the other.

Hi Jesus,
Thank you for giving it a go!
This is pretty much what I have been experiencing - all very difficult to troubleshoot unless you really know what you're doing at this level. Which I don't!
Thanks again!

I've been trying to help but I can make it work, so sorry... I changed sdRef by several options (you have an ExternalAddress, firstly I changed by DNSServiceRef externalNew pointer, and getHandle but nothing changed) Pharo gets hanged after the execution of the first callback defined at #browseServicesOf: [image: Captura de pantalla 2022-05-15 a las 16.30.44.png]
I've tried to modify the signature to return void (end remove the last nil inside the callback block) [image: Captura de pantalla 2022-05-15 a las 16.30.29.png]
Pharo dies executing the primitive primCallcackReturn

I hope it helps you in any way

Hi Esteban,
That is a very good point!
Please see https://github.com/StewMacLean/Bonjour/blob/master/README.md for version two of the readme that includes some screenshots etc.
If anyone can make this work, you can! (Thanks again for the Pango api help).
I'm so curious as to what the problem is. I've tried all sorts of combinations!
Cheers,
Stew

Hi, Steward,
I do not have my mac around right now, but... it would help if you put also some code on how you expect the thing to work and what you expect to happen :)

Ok, after bashing my head against the Spinning Wheel of Death for ages trying to use FFI to interface to the Bonjour service discovery library, I've done it another way using essentially the same design framework, but scraping the command line output from dns-sd with the help of OSSubProcess. This is on a MacOS/M1/Monterey, Pharo 10 setup.
This works nicely, but I would still like to get to the bottom of why the FFI doesn't work for this. So I've made all the code available on https://github.com/StewMacLean/Bonjour. You can either download a preloaded image/changes or use Metacello to download and install into a fresh P10 image.
Once downloaded, it will select the openApp for the command line interface to run. To run the library interface you need to do the same thing, in that class - please refer to the read me and browse the code.
I'd really appreciate any help I can get to get this working. I think it would make a great demonstration app for FFI usage once running. Please sing out with any questions etc.
Thanks!
