We will. Now the question is - is the bug really fixed? - should we include FFI really in the distribution (I would vote for if it does not put mess). Stef On Oct 28, 2008, at 12:44 PM, Torsten Bergmann wrote:
Hi Kjell,
I came across your postings on problems on installing Exupery [1] in Squeak.
I'm sure your problem is the Installation of FFI in the 3.10 image again. Arrrgghh!!! See the bug + fix [2] - just file in the changeset from above location [2] before loading FFI and tell me if it works.
Unfortunately I tried to convince the community several times (see [3] for an example) to update the default 3.10 download images: - since people typically start by downloading an image from the website - since FFI is a very often used package for some of us and some packages depend on it - since not every new user knows about bug 6980
But unfortunately still nobody really cares. Yes there are nice Installer scripts and friends - but they dont automatically fix this problem for a fresh 3.10 Squeak download.
However I als filed a bug report + fix [4] for Pharo in the hope that this Squeak distribution will be more user friendly than the standard Squeak in the future...
Thx Torsten
