Hi Laurent, Thanks for reporting. The correct #moduleName for MacOS was missing, I've uploaded a new version answering 'libyaz.3.dylib' which I guess is the corresponding for 'yaz3.dll' (according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_library#Naming ). I haven't access to a MacOS, but in Windows I've had to find the mangled function names (i.e. _ZOOM_connection_create@4) so FFI can find the function addresses and you don't get the classic "Error: Unable to find function address". I don't know if it's related since talks about C++, but you may want to check http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/3735 The tool I've used to find the mangled function names in Windows is the Steve Miller's Dependency Walker http://www.dependencywalker.com/ 2010/12/19 laurent laffont <laurent.laffont@gmail.com>:
Hi,
I want to use http://www.squeaksource.com/Z3950 Following install instructions, I've dowloaded yaz sources (I've tried 4.1.2 and 3.0.52) as it seems there's no binary for OSX, ./configure && make && make install. Then using latest Seaside One Click image I've copied /usr/local/lib/*yaz*  in Seaside.app/Contents/MacOS $ ls ~/Downloads/Seaside.app/Contents/MacOS/ Squeak VM Opt     libyaz.a        libyaz.la libyaz_icu.a      libyaz_icu.la     libyaz_server.a libyaz_server.la libyaz.3.dylib     libyaz.dylib  libyaz_icu.3.dylib   libyaz_icu.dylib    libyaz_server.3.dylib libyaz_server.dylib
But then I have a External Module Not Found on YAZPQFFFILibrary>>createParser " YAZPQDFFILibrary default createParser " <cdecl: YAZPQFParser 'yaz_pqf_create' (void) module: 'yaz3'> ^ self externalCallFailed
Any hint ? Cheers, Laurent Laffont -- FFI newbie
