Libffi Alternatives

libffi reviews and mentions

• Error when installing .deb
  2 projects | /r/pop_os | 25 Feb 2023

  Ok, there is a missing dependency, libffi6, which cannot be installed, because it isn't at repos. You can either install it via downloading from other repos (there is a chance in the debian repo), or via compiling on your own (you can start with paying a visit to official site: https://sourceware.org/libffi/). Either way, move carefully and never forget when a dependency is missing, it may be a start of a "missing dependencies hell". And please, be caution, because you can break your system quite easily.

  I've been working in implementing libffi into Euphoria so we can call Raylib functions directly. Previously, Euphoria did not support passing structures by value and only occasionally could we get away with "faking" it by passing int type values directly (but not float types). Raylib is the first library I've run into that makes heavy use of passing structures by value, so it's been an interesting challenge. My original proof of concept worked well with libffi built as a shared library, so now I'm working on building libffi directly into the backend of Euphoria. Then we'll be off and running with full support for Raylib!

  I did some more looking around, and I think you should take a look into libffi. It has most of the dirty work done for you, and you can hook it up with your language.

• kivy-ios / initial build with toolchain keeps getting stuck here (checking for suffix of executables...) after updating macOS and xcode... any thoughts? Thanks!

  The last line of output is from configure and appears to be during building of libffi recipe - apparently executing the generate-darwin-source-and-headers.py from libffi repository

• Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ Guide from Scratch for Home Assistant Core

  ok... I did my python 3.9 upgrade on my Rpi3b+ ... here's what I learned: 1) If you're running Debian Buster, you really probably want to upgrade to Bullseye first https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/upgrade-raspberry-pi-os-to-bullseye-from-buster If you stay on buster, then homeassistant won't start until you build libffi-3.3 as below: 2021-12-29 16:51:14 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.auth.providers] Unable to load auth provider homeassistant: libffi.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory https://community.home-assistant.io/t/python-install-on-raspberry-pi-os/241558/12 wget "https://github.com/libffi/libffi/releases/download/v3.3/libffi-3.3.tar.gz" tar zxf libffi-3.3.tar.gz cd libffi-3.3 ./configure sudo make install sudo ldconfig Other than that, it was pretty straightforward. Do be aware that after you redeploy home assistant, a LOT of stuff is happening in the background and it will take a while before everything comes up. Don't freak out. Don't reboot or power cycle. Instead, do this: tail -f /var/log/homeassistant/home-assistant.log and watch the updates

  If you have read my earlier posts you know I love multilingual programming. One important part of multilingual programming is how to interface one language with other. Typically this is called FFI or foreign function interface. At the lowest level often there are libraries (aka bindings) to talk across languages or across implementations of same language e.g. libffi. In my undergrad we did a group project where we created language bindings to separate algorithmic part written in python and opencv and X11 logic in c.
