Create a .exe application in Pharo 2.0
by prova email Nov. 9, 2013

Nov. 9, 2013

It's quite hard to me to explain what i need. When i ask something, i've never had the answer that i want. What do you mean for "There are some places in the system where you can put txt file"? What are the places you are talking about? Is it the Pharo 2.0 folder? Can somebody tell me step-by-step how to create the .exe file? Why is it so difficult? As i said at the beginnning of one of my first messages, i'm a rookie in Pharo. So i need something more. Thanks again.Paolo

Pharo 3.0.0 dmg for Mac OSX
by Bruce Prior Nov. 8, 2013

Nov. 8, 2013

The dmg works for me now in OS 10.9 Mavericks. I didn't have "Allow downloads from anywhere" ON. If I launch Pharo2.0 I get a message, "cannot locate sources file." This isn't a problem for me. Thanks, Damien, for a cool launcher. Bruce

Well, it could be that your machine CPU too old and don't supports instructions (like SSE) which VM compiled with.

Spec - Text alignment in LabelModel
by nacho Nov. 7, 2013

Nov. 7, 2013

Hi, After spending almost two hours digging into Spec I couldn't figure out how to change the alignment of the text in LabelModel. As I'm building a simple calculator, the text has to be right-aligned. The default is left-alginement which makes the calculator display look weird. Any help would be much appreciated. best regards Nacho ----- Nacho Smalltalker apprentice.

Just a little more information. Out of curiosity, I downloaded Pharo 3.0 and tried it, with the same result - message from Windows says 'Pharo.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close'. To complete the set, I downloaded Pharo 1.4 and tried it. This time it failed saying 'CogVM.exe has encoun....'. I presume all versions now use the Cog VM, and it looks as though this machine just won't run it. Is there still a 'traditional' VM I can use instead of Cog? It might not be practical, but it would at least prove that it is a VM problem. Is there any information about Cog giving problems with AMD processors? _____ From: Pharo-users [mailto:pharo-users-bounces@lists.pharo.org] On Behalf Of PBK Research Sent: 07 November 2013 15:07 To: 'Any question about pharo is welcome' Subject: Re: [Pharo-users] Why won't my Pharo download run? OK. I opened a command line prompt, cd to Pharo 2.0 directory (created in today's download), enter 'pharo.exe pharo2.0.image'. Same result - immediate failure.

A simple an basic calculator built with Spec
by nacho Nov. 7, 2013

Nov. 7, 2013

Hi, I wanted to share with those you could be interested a project I did to learn a little about Spec in Pharo 3. It's a simple and very basic calculator. There code is all commented and I even include a little tutorial on how I build the UI. There are a number of issues however that I have to figure out being the most important a way to get the text displayed to be right-aligned. Also error handling and other...my point was just to focus on Spec. If you are interested you can get it here: MCHttpRepository location: 'http://ss3.gemstone.com/ss/Specalc' user: '' password: '' and then Calculator new openWithSpec. best regards Nacho ----- Nacho Smalltalker apprentice.
