HI Esteban,

can you be more specific what the problem with "OSWindows" is?

I guess you refer to my project "OSWindows" which is in Catalog and in http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~OS/ and belongs to my operating system series (OSWindows, OSLinuxUbuntu, OSUnix, OSOSX, OSRaspbian, ...) which is about wrapping native APIs and providing easier Pharo work on the different platforms. Each aspect of this project is covered by unit tests and it should be possible to find out what the problem is. If you remember it was a good testbed to find issues in UFFI.

But maybe you refer to another project. Because there is also an "OSWindow" (without "s") project done later by Ronie Salgado which is about accessing a platform window from Pharo. This one is at: http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~ronsaldo/OSWindow

Still I wished that Ronie would have choosen a different name as this is now often very confusing to people to distinguish between "OSWindows" and "OSWindow". "NativeWindow" or something like that would have been better for what it is all about...

What about "HostWindow"? Phil

Thanks Torsten

Hi guys,

I want to move latest vm to stable (for Pharo 6.0, of course).

I can report that the linux 64bits version segfault for me. And that I have a hard time compiling it from source (but at least I could get it to work without segfaults from the command line).

- yes… sadly 64bit still will not reach stable - and without reports, I cannot take action ;)

I did report two months ago, to no effect nor answer.

- compiling is not harder than before, just instructions are not updated... and in any case, that’s not a problem with moving latest to stable :P

I'm trying to look through your travis setup to find out how things should be done. Is not working too well yet. The 32bits version looks fine. Regards, Thierry

I am going to do some 64 bit in the coming weeks as I need to wrap a 64 bit library using UnifiedFFI.

I’m working right now on having FFI-Kernel to work (the backend), because there are some problems with it. UFFI *should* be working right after (I already made the parts I think are needed on that side). but VM 64bits + UFFI will need testing phase… maybe your bindings would be a good starting point :) Esteban

I also have has issues with FT fonts that were not named the same on various boxes.

For example, the Hack font installed a few months ago on one machine had names like "Hack-Oblique.ttf" and are not named like "Hack-Italic.ttf" on the new installs. So, there is a primitive error showing up and blocking the image.

Not saying that is the cause of other troubles but there should be a way to switch back to in image fonts if such a case arises.

This for sure caused me a few headaches.

yep, but this is not a VM issue. In this case is correct that primitive fails… is just that FT2 image side doesn’t know how to manage the problem :( So we need an issue with this, but I wouldn’t say is a blocking point to move latest to stable. Esteban
