i uploaded the new version of Athens-Cairo, which takes the 'default' path depending on platform it running, also fixed it, so you don't have to change multiple places. also , updated config version 1.0 to load this package. On 20 April 2012 14:45, Igor Stasenko <siguctua@gmail.com> wrote:
As i suspected, it works out of the box on my ubuntu-32 bit installation, i just had to change the cairo library path to /usr/lib/libcairo.so

Athens is an API, the rendering is actually done by the backends. Currently Ballon and Cairo are supported.
So, the answer is that Athens is supported in all platforms using the Ballon backend, (note that ballon does not have all the features of Cairo, so some of the features in the demo wont work), and the  Cairo backend as well.
You just need to tell NativeBoos were to locate the cairo library (built using MacPorts, so the path starts at /opt/...).
For now we just hardcoded the library path (you can change them by hand for now, to point to your local Cairo lib)
TCairoLibrary class>>nbLibraryNameOrHandle     ^ '/opt/local/lib/libcairo.2.dylib'
AthensSurface class>>nbLibraryNameOrHandle     ^ '/opt/local/lib/libcairo.2.dylib'
This should be changed, perhaps a settings?

People should start to use Athens, apps around Pharo would start be look waaaayyy cooler.
About that.
Is it supposed to work outside of the Mac platform ?
Tried the demo, and AthensDemoMorph new openInWorld crashes on "function unavailable". That backtraces into Block in NBFFICallout>>generateCall:module: where module seems to be '/opt/local/lib/libcairo.2.dylib' which is obviously Mac-ish but makes no sense on Linux.
Where is the library name and location set/picked up ? I guess this question could be generalized to how the platform-specific initialization happens.
As an aside, all NativeBoost-Tests are green.
Platform : debian testing 64-bit with ia32 libs installed. Latest NBCogVM from jenkins, blank Pharo 1.4 #14414 with Athens 1.0 (explicitly) installed from SS:Athens/ConfigurationOfAthens.
I also look forward to discovering whatever new, inventive stuff these new projects enable.
