Indeed, this was a mistake. It's fixed now.

Updates: Status: Accepted Labels: Milestone-1.3 Comment #4 on issue 1042 by marianopeck: documentation/help menu http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=1042 Tony, I agree. But there is something that should be done: test all of them and see which are still working, which are not, which have changed, etc. Do you volunteer for this?

Re: [Pharo-project] Is executing a file platform dependent?

by Schwab,Wilhelm K

OSProcess, which I am learning to like more as I learn more about it, is not well supported on Windows. Dave recently advised me to use ProcessWrapper on Windows; if he is saying that, then it must be the better path for now. I have done FFI on both Windows and Linux. I have not (yet anyway) done any one task in a cross-platform way. So far, I have not seen anything horrible that would prevent it. I have zero interest (at least so far) in moving my numerical analysis adventures back toward Windows (they started there and moved to Linux where I am quite happy). I have a .so interface to Acces IO A/D hardware and a DLL interface to Ascension Technology's 3D tracking software. Ultimately, I hope to be able to use both of them on either platform (the software exists on both), but have not yet made the connections. I transparently use OutputDebugString() on Linux and syslog() on Linux, but that does a test on platform and calls completely different code, so it does not count here. Sorry I can't be of more help. I urge you to wade into it and ask for help as you get stuck. For creating libraries, you might want to have a look at Code::Blocks; I don't push it very hard, but I have no complaints. The "default" is to install MinGW on Windows (last time I looked at least) and it uses gcc on Linux.

With OS Process you can run scripts. That should work identical on Mac and Unix systems; probably also Windows, but I haven't tried. With FFI and Alien you can call C libraries. I have not much experience with those, but normally it should be possible to use them on all platforms.

[Pharo-project] Is executing a file platform dependent?

by Max Leske

Hi guys I was wondering if it is true that executing a file from within Pharo is platform dependent. I don't actually need to execute a file; it's more a theoretical question and I have no idea what the mechanisms are that would be used. To give you a clearer picture: Imagine you have C, sh, and perl files. What I'm thinking about is that I would have some data in the image that I would want to process with the code in one of those files. I would then wait for the result and process the result in the image. So my questions are: is there a platform independent way to execute C, sh or perl files from Pharo? Does the VM handle the platform dependencies? Are there any other issues with the idea I described? Don't go out of your way to find answers, please. But I'd be happy to hear your thoughts. Cheers, Max

The Smalltalk world is lucky that INRIA is supporting us. Sig got the resulting job on merit. ________________________________________ From: pharo-project-bounces(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr [pharo-project-bounces(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr] On Behalf Of Sven Van Caekenberghe [sven(a)beta9.be] Sent: Sunday, December 12, 2010 5:09 AM To: Pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] good news of the year On 11 Dec 2010, at 18:40, Igor Stasenko wrote: > Thanks everyone. > > I had very warm and friendly greeting here in Lille.

[Pharo-project] Issue 3405 in pharo: Issue 1042 should be re-opened. Pharo needs a user-accessible list of shortcut keys

by pharo＠googlecode.com

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 3405 by tony.fleig: Issue 1042 should be re-opened. Pharo needs a user-accessible list of shortcut keys http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3405 Issue 1042 was apparently closed when the Help menu item was added. There is indeed a Help item in the World menu, but it does not lead to anywhere that shortcut keys are listed. The original issue, i.e. that the list of shortcut keys is nowhere available has not been addressed. I think this issue should be re-opened. I agree wholeheartedly that this list is of immense value to newcomers to the Pharo and should be available and easy to find.
