Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo-users Digest, Vol 33, Issue 52

by Hubert Wagner

Hello Cami : Thank you for your suggestion. I've already attempted the approach suggested at the URL quoted. The "getInstaller" script doesn't work for me. So, of course, the original script still doesn't work. However, this time I tried using Gofer to reinstall Metacello. (I couldn't find any reference to it in my image). That worked. Gofer new squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfMetacello'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfMetacello) perform: #loadLatestVersion. So I tried this : Gofer new squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfDesigner'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfDesigner) perform: #loadLatestVersion. Error : ConfigurationOfDesigner class object > doesnotunderstand #loadLatestVersion What now? I have Pharo 1.4. Should I try this with 2.0?

To Ginny, Though a newbie too, I think you have to make the window small with a living LOGame, see picture.

Looks like this project was built for Squeak (see Environment on the right side of the website). Follow the instruction in this thread to install it in pharo http://forum.world.st/Installing-Morphic-UI-designer-in-Pharo-1-1-td3093047… You can try it out in a newer version of pharo but no guarantee it will work :) best cami

Stef- Thanks for the welcome and for all the work you and others have done to make Pharo available. I just started using it this week. The documentation is very good and I'm enjoying SmallTalk programming but one very important and basic thing I haven't been able to find anywhere is: How do I deploy an app to users? I can send them the one-click image with my code in it, but I really don't want to tell the users that they have to open a workspace and type LOGame new openInWorld command-d to start the app. How do I set the image to run that when the .app or .sh is run? It seems to me instructions for this should be linked to from the Documentation section on the pharo-project.org home page so new developers can get their apps out to users quickly.

First: Welcome! welcome and welcome Second: our goal is to create an ecosystem around pharo: if you need material to teach, if you have idea or needs for business or anything else just let us know. Our goal is to be able to reinvent our system and at the same time make sure that we can all create wealth at all levels. Third: we are working hard to get our vision: a nice, little and powerful reflective system. If you want to understand what we are doing please read the document Pharo vision on http://www.pharo-project.org/community/consortium You will understand our current effort. Four: you can get an impact on Pharo :) There are a lot of different ways to contribute. - feedback - bugs idea for enhancements see http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/list - book participation (we are working on deep into pharo http://rmod.lille.inria.fr/pbe2/ - translation - adding comments - building great stuff - using packagesâ¦. So welcome. Stef PS: Pharo is not the end, Pharo is the mean to create a powerful clean, lean system with a great community.

hey all.. this is more of a style question than anything else.. what is the most 'smalltalk' way to grab the first n elements of an ordered collection? using an interval? using an iterator? thanks! -- ---- peace, sergio photographer, journalist, visionary http://www.ThoseOptimizeGuys.com http://www.CodingForHire.com http://www.coffee-black.com http://www.painlessfrugality.com http://www.twitter.com/sergio_101 http://www.facebook.com/sergio101

Loading and using Designer

by Hubert Wagner

Hello List : I'm a Mac OSX user new to SmallTalk and Pharo. I'd like to experiment with Designer but cannot work out how to load the package and open in Pharo. The instructions here : https://www.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/hirschfeld/trac/SqueakCommunityProjects/wiki… produce the error below. > Using Metacello, just run the following code in your workspace: > >> (Installer mc http: 'http://www.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/hirschfeld/squeaksource/') >> project: 'MetacelloRepository'; >> install: 'ConfigurationOfDesigner'. >> (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfDesigner) load. Errors : Unknown variable Installer Note : Further, I'm unsure what is implied by the instruction, "Using Metacelloâ¦" unless this merely refers to the second line of the script. May I request a set of instructions one might characterize as "designed for a nine year old" ! Regards : Hubert Wagner France
