[Pharo-project] [ANN] VMMaker metacello config for Squeak and Pharo
Hi, (crosspost vm-dev, squeak-dev, pharo-dev) with more and more Metacello configurations for various well known Squeak and Pharo packages appearing in the metacello repository [1] I thought it would be a good idea to have one for VMMaker. It is based on a description by David (see [2]) and maybe he is able to help me keeping it maintained. Since Metacello is Smalltalk independent and therefore able to handle differences between the deployment systems the new 'ConfigurationOfVMMaker' includes two platform spec's - one for #pharo and one #squeak. (Pharo has FreeType preinstalled, and Squeak not). Unfortunately the Balloon3D stuff needs a little bit more cleaning (underscores, assigns to block args). Maybe Andreas is able to fix this. Until then one has to switch a preference in Pharo. However: it should be easy now to load and use VMMaker in both: In Squeak 3.11 #9236 ==================== Installer ss project: 'MetacelloRepository'; install: 'ConfigurationOfVMMaker'. ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfVMMaker) project version: '1.0') load In Pharo (core or dev) evaluate: ================================ Preferences setPreference: #allowBlockArgumentAssignment toValue: true. Gofer new squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfVMMaker'; load. ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfVMMaker) project version: '1.0') load Feel free to have a look or use it to build shiny new VM's for the next interesting devices. For more infos on Metacello see [3] and [4].

First let me say Torsten thanks a lot!!! you are becoming a Metacello expert :) Maybe you can give me feedback when I finish the chapter for the next PBE ? BWT, this loads ok ONLY in Pharo 1.0. Remember that in 1.1 the compiler was change so that it doesn't accept _ as assignment regardless the preference. Cheers Mariano

Wonderful! Thank you so much for doing this. I guess this means it's time for me to learn how to use Metacello ;-) Dave
