NativeBoost / Callbacks and Multithreading

by Nicolai Hess

Hi, I've tried to build a pharovm with multithread support. I changed the config in the pharo generator.image to use the cogmt config and was able to build a vm. But this vm crashes on startup. (windows7) Is this the right way and did anyone got this to work (windows or linux)? And can this work to make NB callbacks working for multithreaded libraries. (I made some simple bindings for the gstreamer lib with NB, this works for simple calls (create element/change state). But I guess this won't work for any gstreamer function that requests a callback that may b e called from a different thread) Would this be the right way to do: - build a vm with MT support - guard the NB callback entry/leave code with the ownVM()/disownVM() call. Or is there more to do. Thanks in advance nicolai

OpenBuildService

by Sean P. DeNigris

After hearing Esteban mention it, I investigated http://openbuildservice.org/ and it seems really exciting. IIUC, we can create one Fedora-style packag Spec file, and have Pharo built on just about all distributions. There is even a community server (https://build.opensuse.org/) I've set up an account there for test purposes and started playing. The initial results are at https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-openbuildservice. I also wrote some notes at https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-workingRoadmaps/blob/master/OpenBuil…. I've gotten through the build process and I'm stuck on the installation step. ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/OpenBuildService-tp4820143.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

It was very tedious to find that out, since the builds all claim to produce Pharo_0.2.4 ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Launcher-Mac-CI-Broken-Executable-tp4820123p4820141.h… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Pharo-dev] pharo home page tagline

by Ben Coman

Actually, another less-is-more improvement would be to change "Pharo The immersive programming experience" to just "Pharo immersive programming" (btw with the exclusion of capital letters from the tagline) cheers -ben On Fri, Apr 17, 2015 at 11:58 AM, Ben Coman <btc(a)openinworld.com> wrote: > On reddit I see some questions regarding the "IDE and OS rolled into one" > tagline on the pharo homepage.

pharo home page tagline

by Ben Coman

On reddit I see some questions regarding the "IDE and OS rolled into one" tagline on the pharo homepage. Of course it makes sense to me, but I can see how it might not be clear to others, who might even think "I don't need that, I already have an OS." I think the tagline would be strong enough without it - less is more. cheers -ben

Also, what significance does the version number have, since it stays static as the build evolves? ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Launcher-Mac-CI-Broken-Executable-tp4820123p4820125.h… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
