LibFFI/NB Cairo External Module Not Found debugging
by Peter UhnÃ¡k May 21, 2018

May 21, 2018

Hi, some Windows users are repeatedly running into Pharo failing to load Cairo library on Windows (see stack screenshot at the bottom). The problem is that I have no idea how to even start debugging this. Is there some documentation on how Pharo loads libraries via FFI on Windows that I can start digging into? Note that the library is definitely present, as this happens only occasionally -- it can be fixed by restarting PC. But I cannot reasonably ask users to restart just because Pharo decided it doesn't feel like loading a library. Any pointers / docs / ideas appreciated. Thanks, Peter

Esteban's ChangeLog week of 14 May 2018
by estebanlm＠gmail.com May 21, 2018

May 21, 2018

Hello! This is my weekly ChangeLog, from 14 May 2018 to 20 May 2018. You can see it in a better format by going here: http://log.smallworks.eu/web/search?from=14/5/2018&to=20/5/2018 ChangeLog ========= 18 May 2018: ------------ * The strategy of "just copying" dependencies when they are available has some limitations: we need to copy also dependencies we may not want. I will review these copied libraries (for now: cairo, libssh2 and libgit2) to minimize them. This means I need to review versions and maybe compile them myself and put them in the repository. Still, is not the best approach possible, but is the way I'm finding to move on for now... we'll see how it goes. 17 May 2018: ------------ * I've been working on the Windows 64bit PharoVM compilation. I needed to hack a lot and take decisions I'm not proud of them, but well... after one week work (and six months trying), now I have a 64bit VM with all dependencies compiled. *But!*... I cannot call it a victory. Dependencies are still not working properly (libgit2 and cairo, at least). So now the painful debug phase restarts. 16 May 2018: ------------ * I found an important leak when using OSWindow and SDL2, so I spent some time fixing it (or at least, trying to fix it). I made two PRs that should fix the problem: [https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/1368](https://github.com/pharo-… and [https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/1369](https://github.com/pharo-… 15 May 2018: ------------ * Spent the day resuming work on win64 VM for Pharo. I decided stop trying to fight the dependency building hell and start over with a different approach: we will build the vm using the available libraries in cygwin64 (when possible) and we will use a separate project to build dependecies when we need something cygwin does not provides. While this approach is far from being perfect, it will allow us to move on. Anyway... I spent most of the day getting my cygwin environment to work, but I managed to advance a bit anyway. cheers!

Soup on GH
by Sean P. DeNigris May 20, 2018

May 20, 2018

I just synced my fork [1] to the latest changes in StHub (minus the Configuration stuff). There are also a few enhancements not on StHub if anyone would like to backport. Perhaps we should try to make a list of projects ported to git/GH to avoid duplicated effort as we adopt git more universally? 1. https://github.com/seandenigris/Soup-for-Pharo ----- Cheers, Sean -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Developers-f1294837.html

Soup Bug? Pre Tags Should Be Nestable
by Sean P. DeNigris May 19, 2018

May 19, 2018

I did some research and don't see any restriction on nested pre tags, yet Soup includes <pre> in "NonNestableBlockTagsForHtml". This causes the following to be parsed as two sibling <pre> tags: <pre> Hi there <pre> This act shall take effect immediately. </pre> </pre> Moving <pre> from NonNestableBlockTagsForHtml to NestableBlockTagsForHtml seems to be The Right Thing To Do. Any objection (I'm certainly not an HTML expert). If not, I'll commit to my GH fork and feel free to merge back to StHub or wherever. ----- Cheers, Sean -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Developers-f1294837.html
