Re: [Pharo-users] How To Implement A New Calendar

by jtuchel＠objektfabrik.de

Bahman, there has been a very powerful calendar/time library called Chronos. It was initially written for VisualWorks, but IIRC was also ported to Squeak and Pharo. The project's home page is not working any more (links to some arabic stuff which I can't read), but you can start research here: http://chronos-st.blogspot.de I am not sure it supports Jalali, but it's very likely it gives you all that's needed to implement it on top of Chronos.

How To Implement A New Calendar

by Bahman Movaqar

Hi all, In Iran we use a calendar different from Gergorian and Islamic calendars; it's called Jalali calendar[1]. The people in Afghanistan use the same calendar but with different month names. So, I was wondering how can I implement this calendar in Pharo? I've already done the conversion routines in Python[2] but that is nowhere near a real calendar. What I have in mind is a subclass (?) of `Date` which seamlessly supports all `Date` operations but using a different calendar system. I'd appreciate any hits/pointers.

Well I agree, but it seems your first idea about some libraries are the more likely correct guess. but well I do not know which libraries I've used in the past. So well yes I'm stuck and too short on time to figure it out. I've to find another way for now. Anyway thanks for trying to help me.

So are you saying ODBC in Pharo 1.x still works on that very same machine? Does ldd for the old VM yield the same kind of output? If so, it should be possible to limit the search to the 2.0 VM and Image and ignore the surroundings.

But AFAIKT it seems ODBC is not "really" used with Pharo. Hmm, I have no idea to be honest. I am not even using Pharo much. I somehow mistrust ODBC on Linux per se, but that is based on experiences from around 2005, so a very uninformed opinion rather than based on (current) facts. Joachim

No it was exactly this machine. But I updated Pharo to 2.0 and it may be that I updated some libraries on this Box also. But sorry, I can not tell really. I guess nobody really keeps track on the working machine on what you install when.

Unfortunatly I know the same code runs fine on Windows and so it probabl has to do with the used/provided odbc libraries. I was just wondering if anyone else uses this combination.
