Re: [Pharo-project] FS-Bug render Pharo 2.0 useless on Win (Issue 6531)

by Guillermo Polito

Today we were checking it with Ezequiel(he has a windowze machine). The problem seems to be in StandardFileStream>>open: fileName forWrite: writeMode ... fileID := StandardFileStream retryWithGC:[self primOpen: f writable: writeMode] until:[:id| id notNil] forFileNamed: fileName. ... that expression yields nil in Windows while in Mac/Unix it yields a file handle. Still looking at it.

[Pharo-project] headless CogVM on Windows

by Torsten Bergmann

>yeah... we need a real headless mode (no systry, nothing... just a deamon >running) The regulary Squeak VM for Windows is able to do just that. It runs Smalltalk as an NT service by using the option "-service" See http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/105 Dont know if this also works on Cog/Pharo standard VM. Bye T.

hmm :-( at least older Windows VM versions started directly to systray. -- Pavel On Fri, Sep 21, 2012 at 2:46 PM, Esteban Lorenzano <estebanlm(a)gmail.com> wrote: > that was always like that... headless mode is not actually headless in any of the platforms. > > Esteban > > On Sep 21, 2012, at 2:27 PM, Pavel Krivanek <pavel.krivanek(a)gmail.com> wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> it seems that the headless mode in CogVM on Windows is not working >> well.

that was always like that... headless mode is not actually headless in any of the platforms.

[Pharo-project] headless CogVM on Windows

by Pavel Krivanek

Hi, it seems that the headless mode in CogVM on Windows is not working well. It always opens a window and the only difference from the normal start is that it uses minimalization to systray. As far as I know the older windows VMs always used systray (bad) but without the initial window opening. -- Pavel
