Wonder how to help ? Read this page !

Generous donors

  • Matthew S. (Paypal donation)
  • NeZetiC (donation of a Sun Ultra 5 computer so I can work on the BridJ+dyncall Sparc port)

While I'm working on these projects for the fun of it on my free time, I have bills to pay and a startup to care of (and that startup isn't paying the bills yet...). Any donation will be greatly appreciated : Become a sponsor

Projects Used

BridJ uses the following libraries :

  • [dyncall], an excellent lightweight FFI library distributed under an ISC-style license (reproduced below). Daniel Adler and Tassilo Philipp (authors of dyncall) have been very supportive and kindly accepted and/or adapted most if not all of the patches I submitted to them, many thanks ! To patch dyncall with BridJ's modifications, type :
wget https://nativelibs4java.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/libraries/Runtime/BridJ/admin/patch_dyncall.sh
bash patch_dyncall.sh dyncall

Note that BridJ ships with these libraries, so you don't need to put them in the path or install them to your system : BridJ's JAR file is self-contained.
