[Pharo-project] Connector replacement packages for Pharo
by bryce＠kampjes.demon.co.uk March 8, 2009

March 8, 2009

Connectors no longer loads into Pharo, it's heavily tied into eToys. Are there any maintained package that provide diagram creation? All I'm trying to do is draw a diagram with boxes and arrows connecting them to represent control flow graphs. Bryce

[Pharo-project] OTChasingInspector preview
by Dale Henrichs March 8, 2009

March 8, 2009

I made a blood sacrifice to the OB gods yesterday and they led me to an acceptable (initial) implementation of a chasing inspector:) The code is in OB-Tools-dkh.66 (make sure you've loaded OmniBrowser-dr.442 as well). It'll need a couple more sacrifices to the OB gods before it's really ready (primarily reducing the text pane screen real estate), but you can take it for a spin, if you're interested: OTChasingInspector openOn: { #key->('Smalltalk'->Smalltalk). Dictionary with: #blue->'1' with: #green->'2' }. I'll be using it in GLASS, but if there's interest in a Pharo/Squeak version I'll make sure to keep it up to snuff. Dale

[Pharo-project] Fwd: Re: last win32 VM
by Torsten Bergmann March 8, 2009

See below.

Probably not. My recommendation would be to move the responsibility of determining the current font directory into the FT2Plugin. In which case SHGetKnownFolderPath will do the trick nicely, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762188(VS.85).aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762584(VS.85).aspx Cheers, - Andreas -- Computer Bild Tarifsieger!

[Pharo-project] last win32 VM

I would guess it is not the newest VM, but the code in "FreeTypeFontProvider>>guessWindowsFontFolderPath" running through all drives and F: is the last mapped drive on your system. Therefore it crashes when accessing drive G: On Vista this gives you a nice Win32 Exception. Maybe the FreeType code should switch to another way to get the windows system and font folder (using Registry, Win32 API, ... - but there is no FFI by default). However, quickfix is to disable the update in FreeTypeFontProvider>>startUp: So it is not a VM issue. Bye Torsten -- Psssst! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehÃ¶rt?

[Pharo-project] Pharo + Exupery VM + Something else than Accuny
by Damien Cassou March 8, 2009

March 8, 2009

Hi, I'm playing with the Exupery VM on Pharo. If I change the font to something else than Accuny, the underlined texts are not underlined anymore. To reproduce: - download and use http://ftp.squeak.org/Exupery/vms/exupery-vm-0.15-linux.tz - go to preferences->fonts->list fonts - select Bistream Charter/regular/10, and apply - open monticello and open the Pharo repository You will see that the installed packages are not underlined anymore. Switch back to Accuny to see them underlined. -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st

Re: [Pharo-project] [Vm-dev] New Window VM (Closures, FT2Plugin, Large Cursors)
by John M McIntosh March 7, 2009

March 7, 2009

Ah, I have a bias opinion for an answer, but I'll not discuss that here. However the BIG issue for the 3.8.x and earlier series of macintosh carbon VM is their behaviour for opening a closure image. What you will find is that if you attempt to open a closure image the squeak.app will start then terminate It will print a diagnostic message to the console which you can see via Apple's Console.app found in Applications/Utilities. 07/03/09 11:11:51 AM [0x0-0x8d08d].org.squeak.Squeak[1894] This interpreter (vers. 6502) cannot read image file (vers. 6504). 07/03/09 11:11:51 AM [0x0-0x8d08d].org.squeak.Squeak[1894] Press CR to quit... The reason for this behaviour is that 15 some years back John Maloney coded up the version checking logic and there was a question what to do now. At the time CodeWarrior under os-7.5.x would helpfully put up a dialog window if you printed to the *console* and did a getchar for the answer, that code has moved forward for years now and no-one really has tested until now. Interestingly the getchar on os-x does not block and returns null and we terminate the VM, but the behaviour is confusing if you don't understand what is going on. I will at some point push out a 3.8.22 VM that should put up a more helpful dialog message, but people who have older VMs underfoot should realize this behaviour should be an indication that perhaps your VM is too old.
