FFI was successfuly added to the QNX port

I'v made libffi-1.20.tar.gz port for QNX (original source was taken from redhat.sources)

QNX installation package will be available soon from

libffi_x86-1.20-x86-public.qpr

Welcome to iakovz' diary!

I'v came to the exciting world of Squeak this month with a background in embedded system building with QNX RTOS

Here is my package for qnxinstall with the QNX port of Squeak VM 3.7-7 along with Squeak38-6665 image and changes files taken from squeak.org / no changes were made /

squeak_vm6665_x86-3.7-7-x86-public.qpr

It is still experimental 'cause there are some things pending for implementation to have production Squeak VM on QNX

One of this things is native vm-display-xx. There are 2 alternatives for it - vm-display-photon and vm-display-libsdl

I'm weighing each of these implementations at the present.

libsdl is well ported on a variety of platforms
Photon uGUI is native QNX toolkit for user interface creation so it is easier to implement, say, clipboard with the Photon uGUI
