To fix the problem that the tools won't be on the path, what if we use symlinks to the arduino tools? Would that work? Or simply registering the arduino tools in the PATH variable?

Hi everybody!! I'm glad to announce that ESUG has been accepted as an organization this year :) So Google will be funding some Smalltalk projects of our choice. Soon you'll be able to find the next steps into the program at http://gsoc2012.esug.org/. Cheers! Carla Griggio & Janko MivÅ¡ek GSoC Admins

pharo 1.4 & arduino packages
by Hubert CABOT March 16, 2012

March 16, 2012

Hello, For a project at my university I am working with pharo and arduino. I have been trying to import the arduino packages into a pharo 1.4 image. I am using Ubuntu 10.10 I have troubles while importing the Arduino ÂCompiler: even if I have imported OSProcess, installed avr & extracted the files from Arduino.dirTree.unix.2.zip into my image path, I get an error. Pharo is unable to find some dependencies for Arduino ÂCompiler: CppKit, CppTranslatedProgram, CppProgramTranslator & CProgram. Do you have any idea on how to fix this ? Thanks in advance, Hubert CABOT Engineering student, 2nd year, Computer Science, Ãcole des Mines de Douai +33676394644 hubert.cabot(a)minesdedouai.fr

Hello Thanks for your answer. I didnÂt use the ConfigurationOfArduino package. I will try and use it.

Did you install it using the ConfigurationOfArduino? Gofer it squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfArduino'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfArduino) load. If you did, then it seems the configuration has a bug (which is not entirely imposible, since I only use metacello configurations sporadically). Also, please note that the Arduino.dirTree.unix.2.zip is way too old, I'll upload a new one today and I should probably update the Squeaksource page as well.

Magma benchmarks and stability
by Bernat Romagosa March 15, 2012

March 15, 2012

Hi, Just how slow is Magma? And how stable? Is it a good choice for an application that will be used by around 200 users every day? The application wouldn't need to support a big workload, substantially many more queries than insertions. Thanks! -- Bernat Romagosa.

Problems Starting Pharo 1.4 on Windows
by Runar Jordahl March 15, 2012

March 15, 2012

I have downloaded cogwin.zip (for Windows) and Pharo-1.4.zip from http://www.pharo-project.org/pharo-download/unstable-1-4 I have unzipped the files into a folder. Then I try to drop Pharo-1.4.image over Croquet.exe. Pharo starts, but the message "WARNING! Manufactured file handle detected!" is printed many times at the bottom of the screen. Then the image exits. Are there some known problems with Pharo 1.4 on Windows? Runar

[ANN] BioSmalltalk
by HernÃ¡n Morales Durand March 15, 2012

March 15, 2012

Dear all, It's been two years since I've started to work in bioinformatics with Smalltalk. It has been a difficult decision because the quality and amount of bioinformatics libraries is absolutely amazing, but I've received a lot of support from the main researchers at the Institute of Genetics where I'm working in Argentina. Now the initial step for a BioSmalltalk release is done. I hope the FOSS community receive this pre-release as the basis for future enhacements for bioinformatics with any Smalltalk flavor. Although in the short-term it is unlikely for a BioSmalltalk to reach the users, maturity and competitive level of major Bio* toolkits (BioPerl, BioPython, BioRuby or BioJava), it could take too many years more if I continue this work alone. However, BioSmalltalk was not conceived to replace or defeat any other similar packages, but to provide to the bioinformatics community the features of a pure object system. So feel free to spread the word for all bioinformaticians, newcomers, developers, or life scientists, for helping in any way and discovering why Smalltalk is such a special environment. This release was implemented in Pharo 1.3 custom Core, but cross Smalltalk portability was a priority. I'm working now to release versions for GemStone, Squeak and VisualWorks is there is enough interest. Everybody is welcome to contribute. You may download a pre-compiled release from the project page: http://code.google.com/p/biosmalltalk/ Best regards, HernÃ¡n -- HernÃ¡n Morales Institute of Veterinary Genetics (IGEVET).
