"Making ToolSet more flexible", any taker?

by Mariano Martinez Peck

Hi guys. I am out of time, but if someone wants to do a nice and not so difficult contribution to Pharo, is to improve the ToolSet support. Issue is here: http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=1915 And discussion is here: http://forum.world.st/Questions-about-ToolSet-td1460544.html Cheers Mariano

Re: [Pharo-users] Money AND Feature requests

by andres

Hi, sorry for being disconnected for a couple of days. I think the idea of raising money for supporting feature requests is really cool. And sure, I volunteer to setup a UserVoirce account. So, if we are all ok with it I'll be setting it up at some point between today and tomorrow. Regarding the founding process both kickstarter and pledgie looks nice. From the FAQ it seems that kickstarter needs an US bank account, don't know if that may be an issue.

What you are doing with that is just downloading the packages ConfigurationOfSqueakDBX and ConfigurationOfFFI from the squeaksource repository MetacelloRepository. This is the same than opening a Monticello Browser and do it from there. So...you are not downloading SqueakDBX at all, only those packages, and this is why the error when trying to evaluate something with DBXPlatform. 2) There is no need to explicitly load ConfigurationOfFFI, since Metacello manages dependencies. So, if SqueakDBX needs FFI, Metacello will install it for you. The correct script to install SqueakDBX is: Gofer new squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfSqueakDBX'; load. ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfSqueakDBX) project version: '1.3') load. And finally, if you are in Pharo 1.1, then yes, evaluate: DBXPlatform disableAutomaticConnectionReleaseOnGC Finally, remember that for running SqueakDBX you need the openDBX library and the database client library.

DBXPlatform on Pharo

by flebber

Sorry this is a newbie question. I am trying to install squeakdbx on pharo 1.1. I have evaluated Gofer new squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfFFI'; load. and Gofer new squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfSqueakDBX'; load. from the pharo page http://www.squeakdbx.org/news http://www.squeakdbx.org/news it says to evaluate DBXPlatform disableAutomaticConnectionReleaseOnGC However evaluating this gives me an error. unknown Variable DBXplatform. What am I doing wrong. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/DBXPlatform-on-Pharo-tp3085025p3085025.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

could there just be a menu option in the help menu that brought up a simple workspace with the shortcuts in it?
