[Pharo-project] One-click Windows comment
by blake April 21, 2012

April 21, 2012

I set up the regular Pharo (since I managed to get that instead of the one-click), then decided to try the actual one-click. The previous one-click had a Windows shortcut ".lnk" whereas this one uses a batch file. The former is preferable, as the batch file opens a console window and leaves it open. You can close it--but that's not always the case in Windows. I created a link by using "Create shortcut" on CogVM and then copying the parameter out of the batch file, and pasting it into the "Target": [yourPharoDriveAndDir\]CogVM.exe Contents\Resources\Pharo-1.4-one-click.image ===Blake===

[Pharo-project] we need more objects!
by Fernando Olivero April 20, 2012

No more HandMorph taking care of everything! I found a use case for the reification of the user interface in Gaucho. In Gaucho, i have a user interface, which has attached peripherals: such as displays, mouse, keyboard, etc... And each peripheral takes care of the proper event, dispatched by the user interface ( which receives the VM events). With this scheme, you have more flexibility because you can plug/unplug peripheral devices as needed. For example, i'm coding a Gaucho Login Display. that presents the available sessions . I decided to use only keyboard based navigation, so to disable the mouse i simply unplug the mouse from the user interface ( as opposed to hack my way around HandMorph or PasteUpMorph). GauchoDisplayLogin>> initializeAttachedTo: aGUserInterface | mouse | super initializeAttachedTo: aGUserInterface. mouse := userInterface peripheralDeviceNamed: #mouse. mouse notNil ifTrue:[ mouse dettach ].

[Pharo-project] [NativeBoost] Generic failure errors when using nil for void* and char* arguments
by Jan van de Sandt April 20, 2012

April 20, 2012

Hello, I use NativeBoost to call some icu4c functions. This works fine most of the time. But now I run into the problem that when I pass nil as the argument value for one or more void* / char* parameters I get an error. When I pass a value or an empty ByteArray than it works. According to the icu4c documentation I should be able to pass NULL as an argument value. What am I missing? Jan.
