I am interested in that as well. As far as I am concerned, I'd go for a custom build of VM for such windows related things but I 'd like to know if there is a better way.

How to deploy a Pharo 2.0 Desktop application?

by MartinW

I want to deploy a Pharo 2.0 Desktop application to a dozen of people using Windows and MacOS computers. A couple of questions arise: - How to properly start up and shut down my application when the Pharo image starts and shuts down? - Can i give the Pharo window a custom size and make it non-resizable? - How to hide development tools, world menu, global keyboard shortcuts, etc.? - How to make a nice One-Click-Application, that preferably should have the name and icon of the application and not be called Pharo (not because i do not love Pharo, but because people won't understand :) - How to automate all the above tasks, so i can easily build a new One-Click-Application again and again. - What do i state as system requirements? "You need at least Windows XYZ or MacOS 10.X to run this application" Martin. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/How-to-deploy-a-Pharo-2-0-Desktop-application-tp46766… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

by Esteban A. Maringolo

Thank you guys. I think I'll go with Norbert's proposal, but after I stabilize all this mess I have :) Norbert, is the NTedContextDispatcherDelegate public and available somewhere? Can you explain more what it does, because AFAIK ZnStaticFileServerDelegate already does a proper use of the etag.

Re: [Pharo-users] [Pharo-project] [squeak-dev] GSoC13: Google Summer of Code started, your ideas please!

by Guillermo Polito

And another one: Level: intermediate Possible mentor: Santiago Bragagnolo Possible second mentor: Guillermo Polito Description: Gamification is becoming more and more popular in a lot of applications. What about gamify the pharo development process? You get points by adding comments, fixing bugs or answering questions. You can be a comment healer, a bug slayer, a Zinc magician. The intend of this project is to build an application that integrates with the Pharo development process tools (issue tracker, smalltalkhub, stack overflow) and provides a gamified experience, so we get more and more motivated to code. Technical Details: This project implies the creation of an application which communicates with different applications APIs and perform some analysis on them such as running source code Lint rules. Additionally, this application should have a web frontend. Benefits to the Student - Use a highly reflective dynamic language - Learn to develop a complex application architecture with several communicating components - Learn about ramification concepts - Learn about an open source project development and integration process, such as Pharo - Learn web application development techniques Benefits to the Community - have a platform to organize activities and events around the Pharo development - be more motivated to participate into the development for rewards such as experience, badges and abilities On Wed, Mar 13, 2013 at 4:40 PM, Guillermo Polito <guillermopolito(a)gmail.com > wrote: > Hi Janko! > > We have this: > > Level: intermediate > Possible mentor: Guillermo Polito > > Possible second mentor: Esteban Lorenzano > > Description: DBXTalk database driver nowadays uses a native library > called OpenDBX.

PetitParser Help

by Mohammad Al Houssami (Alumni)

Hello Everyone I was going over PetitParser part on the pharo by example book. http://pharobooks.gforge.inria.fr/PharoByExampleTwo-Eng/latest/PetitParser.… It was all going good until page 11. Script 1.19is for creating the class so this was fine. You get an ExpressionGrammar class with all the needed variables, but what about script 1.20? Where does this script go? I understand what the code does. It is describing a grammar for mathematical expressions by defining what everything is and the rules of the grammar. I am not sure where shall I put this script to run it. In earlier examples I was using the workspace. Any help is much appreciated. Mohammad

by Guillermo Polito

Hi Janko! We have this: Level: intermediate Possible mentor: Guillermo Polito Possible second mentor: Esteban Lorenzano Description: DBXTalk database driver nowadays uses a native library called OpenDBX. This library stands as an adaptor between different database drivers, implemented in C. This native library supposes many problems: - it should be normally compiled for each different platform (Windows, *nix, macosx) and database vendor - each of its bugs should be fixed in a C source code base - OpenDBX do not expose the particular behavior of each database vendor, but their common denominator - difficulty for distribution, and problems to locate libraries. This project proposes to use NativeBoost bindings to remove the necessity of the native openDBX library, simplifying the deployment of applications using relational databases, and moving all the code base to Smalltalk. Technical Details: This project supposes the replacement of openDBX old FFI bindings by direct nativeBoost bindings to the database drivers. The new drivers should be completely written in Smalltalk, and take care of platform and library resolution in the image side. These drivers should be polymorphic while also enabling the access to specific API provided by database vendors. Benefits to the Student - Use a highly reflective dynamic language - Learn the basics of foreign function interface (and its exponent NativeBoost) - Learn how to manage external resources and platform specific native code - Put into usage its object design skills to transform a structured designed library into an object oriented one Benefits to the Community - A more malleable and full smalltalk implementation of relational database drivers - Easier deploy for applications using relational databases - Database divers exposing their particular apis, providing access to features not available before Guille On Sat, Mar 9, 2013 at 2:16 PM, Janko MivÅ¡ek <janko.mivsek(a)eranova.si>wrote: > Hi Stef, > > Post on the mailing list for each project idea by following this template: > > Level: (beginner, intermediate, advanced) > > Possible mentor: > > Possible second mentor: > > Description > > Technical Details > > Benefits to the Student > > Benefits to the Community > > Best regards > Janko > > Dne 09. 03. 2013 13:46, piÅ¡e stephane ducasse: > > Hi janko > > > > How do you want to proceed for the topics? > > I have a list of topics now where do we write them. > > > > - tool support rewrite rules > > - new generation debugger > > - new change model and session manager (with martin dias) > > - improving roassal (with alexandre bergel et vanessa pena) > > - improving eyesee (with alexandre bergel et vanessa pena) > > - support touch event > > - UIPainter (with esteban lorenzano) > > - New widgets > > > > > > Stef > > > > > >> Dear Smalltalkers, > >> > >> Time for your cool project ideas on this year Smalltalk GSoC! > >> > >> For now just express any idea you have here on the mailing list.
