Re: [Pharo-users] Reading an SQL db on OS X

I tried google, but it did not work. Do it the same way on OSX as on Windows and Linux. On OSX you need to supply a full path name to the DB file. This is due to weirdness in Pharo.app; search this list's archives for a recent discussion. I wrote NBSQLite3 on OSX and tested on Linux. I don't use Windows. Subsequently Torsten moved NBSQLite3 to STH. Seems Torsten uses Linux and Windows, so now we have the 3 main platforms covered. :-) You may also want to check out http://www.samadhiweb.com/NBSQLite3.html. Pierce

A blast from the past, on Glorp's license: http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2004-June/078620.html Says Glorp is LGPL(S), under which the "code is intended to be usable as a library, without the intention to restrict the license of the program that uses it." The new Glorp site doesn't talk about license though. The Common Lisp world also has had an LLGPL for a very long time now. http://www.cliko.net/LLGPL Pierce

Pharo References/Citations manager

by Peter UhnÃ¡k

Hi, I've seen somewhere recently something that resembled citations manager, or maybe some DSL describing citations/references. Unfortunately I came across it accidentally while looking for something unrelated so I didn't bookmark it. Maybe it was related to Pillar? Anyone knows? Thanks, Peter

Re: [Pharo-users] Pillar and GT tools in Pharo4

The only problem is that this syntax highlighting is based on PetitParser, so we would have to add a dependency from Pillar to PetitParser. What do you think? Please don't make pillar core depend on petitparser (except if main pillar parser is rewritten in petitparser :-)). I have no problem having petitparser as a dependency of pillar-pharo-tools though.
