[Sablevm-developer] another source for libffi

[David <db...@cs...>]

Hi,

The PyObjC project also use libffi and provides snapshot extracted
from gcc source tree.  The snapshot is dated September 21, 2003.
Could be useful to get libffi for platforms where it is not packaged.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyobjc/

Note: to build it, it is slightly different.
cd src;
../configure [configure options]

that's nice!

Just for reference, in case somebody didn't know - here we have
instructions how to compile only the libffi using gcc sources:

http://devel.sablevm.org/wiki/LibFFI

(this page is also quite high on google if you search for "libffi" ;-)

There's been some talk on the gcc list lately about doing standalone
libffi releases out of the gcc tree.  Other news in this area is that
Anthony is working on getting libffi assigned to the FSF.

So, you may want to follow that discussion or post a supporting note.
