Yesâ¦ there is a problem with that. What we need is to make NB not mandatory in Pharo3 (right now there are problems with that), and we will.

Re: [Pharo-dev] Pharo on a Raspbian

you need to subclass NewObjectMemory to override growObjectMemory: delta (see it in NBCoObjectMemory) to enable object memory to be executable you need to subclass from StackInterpreter to override initStackPagesAndInterpret to enable object memory to be executable and to use new object memory class. basically, same sort of changes what i did for NBCoInterpreter, when adapting NB plugin for Cog.

I think many people are quite eager for this. So how many request does it take ? Who do we have to ask ? In any case, here is my request: Please, please, Dark Lords of the VM, can we please have a Pharo VM for 3.0 for the Raspberry Pi, please, please, please ... ;-) Anyone else ?

AFAIK, is just change one or two methods and to add the NB Plugin. Esteban

I think it is really important to have Pharo 3.0 running on the Raspberry Pi. But I don't know what needs to happen.
