Looking for info: LCB+foreign code wrapping + Open Language

[PaulDaMacMan]

I am very interested in knowing more about the future of LCB & OpenLanguage. I'm interested in wrapping some existing foreign code libraries / frameworks / APIs with LCB for use with LiveCode and eventually Open Language (specifically FluidSynth and/or Core MIDI). I've heard that LCB already supports foreign-code libraries if they're written in C (but will later support C++, JAVA, etc.) and I have some sample code for CLI-Apps written in C that make calls and receive call-backs to/from Core MIDI. If possible I would love to see an example of wrapping some foreign code calls to a lib written in C but there doesn't seem to be any info about it. I would also like to get some idea of how the Open Language setup in LCB will look or some idea of how LCB will specify the Open Language syntax even if it's just some pseudo code version for now.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light!

I think that is what you are after. There is a whole externals forum here.

No it's not. Not exactly. I've read the externals stuff and I understand it can be used to wrap up foreign code, but X-Code & ObjC don't like me at all. I am already familiar with the concept of externals and glue-code and I even wrote a few of XCMDs/XFCNs wayyyyy back in the HC days.
I'm interested in more info on the LiveCode Builder 'LCB' language right now. I'm particularly interested in the syntax for how it does/will interact with external lib files (frameworks, .dynlib, .dlls). I'm kind of chomping at the bit to read more about it but can't find any info on it.

But anyway, thank you for taking the time to respond.

Actually I don't think I ever read the Linux externals guide. Maybe I'll take a shot at external building again.
Still, I'm much more interested in LCB. I find it way more readable. It seems kind of like a cross between LiveCode Script and Pascal.
