[Pharo-project] different vmFullPath between MacVM

by Luc Fabresse

Hi All, SmalltalkImage current vmFullPath evaluates to: '/Applications/SmalltalkVMs' with the MacVM 5.7.4 (the directory that contains the .app vm application) '/Applications/SmalltalkVMs/Squeak-4.2.5beta1U.app/Contents/MacOS/Squeak VM Opt' with the MacVM 4.2.5b1 (the exec file) Is this difference known? I found nothing on the mailing lists. Is it a bug? it is to know we should adapt Coral or not. Cheers, #Luc

The tricky thing about smalltalk and beards is that it does not mean to have a beard _on_ your face but to have it _behind_ your face and that cannot be seen in normal day light. :) Norbert

Well, we could make a poll to see who is bearded here... Working with Smalltalk and Pharo has been a fun journey, and I'm still enjoying the ride. I especially thank Steph for introducing me to this wonderful platform!

Re: [Pharo-project] [ANN] Alien on Pharo 1.2

by Luc Fabresse

Hi Serge, I guess that you use an old version of 1.1.1. It requires the updated version of SmalltalkImage>>recreateSpecialObjectsArray (array size of 55). For older version (array size of 50 such as Pharo 1.0 or Squeak 4.1 also I guess) you should load Alien-Core-LucFabresse.66 and not the latest core Alien-Core-IgorStasenko.68. Steps for a running Alien in 1.1.1 (resp 1.2) with MacVM 4.2.5b1: 1) download a fresh 1.1.1 (Latest update: #11418) 2) Load: ConfigurationOfAlien-LucFabresse.34 3) (ConfigurationOfAlien project version: 'Pharo 1.1') load: {'All'. 'MacOSX'} 4) 40 run, 40 passes, 0 expected failures, 0 failures, 0 errors, 0 unexpected passes be happy ;-) #Luc 2011/2/5 Serge Stinckwich <serge.stinckwich(a)gmail.com> > On Sun, Jan 30, 2011 at 7:05 PM, Luc Fabresse <luc.fabresse(a)gmail.com> > wrote: > > Hi all, > > I just committed new versions of Alien on squeaksource to make it run on > 1.2 > > I also modified the ConfigurationOfAlien to easily load it: > > (ConfigurationOfAlien project version: 'Pharo 1.1') load > > I try to load Alien in a new Pharo 1.1.1 one click image on my MBP and > i've got the following message: > > "This version of ALIEN assumes a size of 55 in the array of special > objects, if loaded would cause the image to crash!.
