funny idea Symbol vs. Selector
by stephane ducasse May 14, 2015

May 14, 2015

Hi guys I'm thinking aloud... I was wondering if we could not take advantage of a new class: Selector. MethodDict would only contain selectors and not symbols. I remember that I talked about that with hernan. Stef

April 25, 2011

Hi, I want to use http://www.squeaksource.com/Z3950 Following install instructions, I've dowloaded yaz sources (I've tried 4.1.2 and 3.0.52) as it seems there's no binary for OSX, ./configure && make && make install. Then using latest Seaside One Click image I've copied /usr/local/lib/*yaz* in Seaside.app/Contents/MacOS $ ls ~/Downloads/Seaside.app/Contents/MacOS/ Squeak VM Opt libyaz.a libyaz.la libyaz_icu.a libyaz_icu.la libyaz_server.a libyaz_server.la libyaz.3.dylib libyaz.dylib libyaz_icu.3.dylib libyaz_icu.dylib libyaz_server.3.dylib libyaz_server.dylib But then I have a External Module Not Found on YAZPQFFFILibrary>>createParser " YAZPQDFFILibrary default createParser " <cdecl: YAZPQFParser 'yaz_pqf_create' (void) module: 'yaz3'> ^ self externalCallFailed Any hint ?

Help (perfect for newcomers) migrating a technical FAQ
by Mariano Martinez Peck April 9, 2011

April 9, 2011

Hi folks. I had a good idea and and it perfect for someone that wants to help and don't know how. It is not the most entertained task, but I promise you will learn a lot. Mostly, if you are newcomer. The idea is basically to migrate the FAQ that is here: http://scg.unibe.ch/wiki/faq/pharofaq to a new section in the collaborative Pharo book: http://book.pharo-project.org/ So....any takers ? Let us know so that we generate a new user in the Book The idea is also to check whether what is says is still correct for pharo or if it needs an update. Or even how to improve it (from the view of a newcomer). Thanks Mariano

Re: [Pharo-users] Money AND Feature requests
by laurent laffont Dec. 30, 2010

Dec. 30, 2010

Thinking again about this idea of voting system for features we would like to see in Pharo. I won't pay 10 euros / month for someone to develop full time on Pharo on what I do not control (may not be the best words to explain my feelings :) But I'm ready to give 30 to 50 euros to raise money to develop the most wanted feature from a voting system. This give more visibility. It's easier to make a one shot donation than give XXeuros/month. So one way to achieve this is to set up a voting system AND associated raising money system to develop the most wanted feature for one month. Another way is to pick the most wanted feature for Google Summer of code. With enough money one can stop his work for one month and develop exclusively for Pharo. If it's too hard to raise money for one month, we can try 15 days. I've seen that some great developers can do fantastic stuff in 15 days when he loves it :) Laurent Laffont On Fri, Dec 10, 2010 at 3:29 PM, Igor Stasenko <siguctua(a)gmail.com> wrote: > On 10 December 2010 13:32, Davorin Rusevljan > <davorin.rusevljan(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > On Fri, Dec 10, 2010 at 1:06 PM, Alan Rodas <alanrodas(a)gmail.com> wrote: > >> I'm relatively new to Pharo, maybe this has been tried before, but what > >> about a forum where the ideas are published. > >> Each idea could be a thread in the forum, and the people that would like > to > >> contribute may comment there.

Pharo runtime engine
by Charles Monteiro Dec. 29, 2010

Dec. 29, 2010

first of all pardon my ignorance, trying to be a better community member but I'm still behind. Has the pharo team contemplated setting up the notion of an official "pharo runtime engine" (PRE) , to be specific users would download the runtime engine and subsequently only the "parcels" i.e. whatever the Pharo counterpart is (.st file ins ?) is distributed to users. Although Cincom does not officially support this, its actually quite simple to setup and its the way I am accustomed to delivering apps. Many in the VW community do as well. I long ago abandoned the strip down model but rather "build up". However, the runtime image is indeed an image stripped down of development tools and etc. BTW, I also provide for a modicum of security by encrypting the parcels. thanks in advance, -Charles -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-runtime-engine-tp3165570p3165570.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Multi window Pharo
by Charles Monteiro Dec. 28, 2010

Dec. 28, 2010

Is it still the case the all UIs basically reside within the "one" host Window (World)? Is it not possible to have an app with multiple windows where one of the windows could for example be located onto a second monitor ? thanks in advance, -Charles -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Multi-window-Pharo-tp3165573p3165573.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Loading Seaside into an existing image
by Daniel Klein Dec. 26, 2010

Dec. 26, 2010

First of all, do I really want to install Seaside into an existing image, or should I import my stuff into a dedicated Seaside image? After opening the Repository on 'Seaside', from the Monticello browser, which version of Seaside to I take from the left column of the Repository? And then which one from the right column? I'm assuming I want the latest 'stable' version. I think it's 3.0, but I don't see it in there? I just took a look at the Seaside website and it looks like there is a 'one-click' install for Windows. Is this the best (recommended) way to get it? I don't mind doing things manually. Are there 'image' and 'changes' files that I can download without doing the 'one-click' thing? Sorry for the barrage of questions. Perhaps just a simple answer will suffice. Dan
