All binaries in this release are compiled for the extended FFI with libfffi. On Mac OSX libffi come as part of the standard install. The same seems to be true for UBUNTU Linux 11.04. On Windows, the new FFI seems to work, although no libffi is installed (but required for compilation). At the moment I only could test on two Windos XP SP2 installations. Perhaps a Windows 7 user can confirm that it works on that platform too, without installing anything additional. To try the extended API on Windows you can use this:
Code: Select all
(import "msvcrt.dll" "atof" "double" "char*")
(atof "123.456") ;=> 123.456
