Hi,
some Windows users are repeatedly running into Pharo failing to load Cairo library on Windows (see stack screenshot at the bottom).
The problem is that I have no idea how to even start debugging this.
Is there some documentation on how Pharo loads libraries via FFI on Windows that I can start digging into?
Note that the library is definitely present, as this happens only occasionally -- it can be fixed by restarting PC. But I cannot reasonably ask users to restart just because Pharo decided it doesn't feel like loading a library.
Any pointers / docs / ideas appreciated.
You can see the actual code from
https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q= findAndLoadModule%28char+*pluginName%2C+sqInt+ffiLoad%29&type=
?
Thanks, Peter
