I just reported. SequencableCollection is an abstract class and should not be instantiated. But that it freezes is strange, it should report an error as soon as a subclassresponsibility is encounterd (like Collection) Marcus -- Marcus Denker -- http://marcusdenker.de

[Pharo-project] Voice reader support for Pharo
by Goubier Thierry April 3, 2012

April 3, 2012

Hi all, I'm one of the newcomers registering recently on the mailing list. I'm trying to see if a colleague of mine, blind, could use Pharo and for that it would be necessary to be able to read aloud the contents of the Pharo morphs to a screen reader such as Orca (and a brltty output). Has anybody worked on that ?

[Pharo-project] Windows Installer (was: direct object manipulation)
by Torsten Bergmann April 1, 2012

April 1, 2012

>Yes, and for consistency. Either we go "installer for all three platforms", >or not. Having a one-click for all but windows in addition ist just >confusing. People often provide ZIP or TARs in open source projects for non-Windows and special windows installers for M$ users. Its not uncommmon. So the user can choose which one he wants to use. It will only be confusing if an image in a x.y one click version of Pharo is different than in a Win32 setup with the same version. But this should be solved when all is based on the same Jenkins-built image as common source. There are good installers for all major platforms - but only commercial. Dont know about free installer projects for non-Windows platforms. Why not provide an installer depend on the environment and which one the user expects: For Linux I think an "apt-get pharo" would be suited similar to Squeak and for Windows a wizard guided installer. >Does it make sense to have a download of 1.2 on the download page? Maybe I'm blind - but on the download page for the 1.2 version - YES: http://www.pharo-project.org/pharo-download/release-1-2 Bye T. -- Empfehlen Sie GMX DSL Ihren Freunden und Bekannten und wir belohnen Sie mit bis zu 50,- Euro! https://freundschaftswerbung.gmx.de

[Pharo-project] Windows Installer (was: direct object manipulation)
by Torsten Bergmann April 1, 2012

April 1, 2012

>> I want a good installer for each platform :) >> >For newspeak there is a native installer for Mac OS and Windows. We already have/had a native Installer for Pharo on Windows. I already posted the script and resources for the free NSIS installer already on the list and also gave it to Igor. I've built them manually in the past. The idea was that the Jenkins Windows Slave should automatically build the setup. Looks like this is not yet done - maybe for time reasons. I wonder why they are removed from the homepages download section? However - one can still access the setup exe files at the inria files section [2] under "Pharo Win32 Setup". I still think that such an installer (which is standard on windows) is helpful for better adoption. Bye T.

[Pharo-project] [ANN] Shootout benchmarking copied to ss3
by Nicolas Cellier April 1, 2012

These benchmarks are good, so I took the port of Eliot from Cog VMMaker and made a package of its own. Since I cannot create a new project on squeaksource, I decided to try SS3.

[Pharo-project] Collection new printString make the image hanging
by Fabrizio Perin March 31, 2012

March 31, 2012

Hi, I was coding in Pharo1.3 Latest update: #13315 By evaluating some tests again the emergency evaluator pop up (Pharo doesn't like me lately :) ). This time at least I figure that some elements i use in the tests do not print properly: <error in printString: evaluate "collection printString" to debug> so if you do Collection new printString. the image seems to hang the only was to stop it is to do command period. In 1.4 at least the debugger pops up telling that "do:" should be implemented in a subclass. To make the image hang you should do SequenceableCollection new printString. I don't know if those are suppose to be bugs or my inappropriate use of Collection and SequenceableCollection. I just reported. Cheers, Fabrizio
