Brisbane meet up

by Jeff Gray

I was poking around the internet wondering if there are many smalltalkers in Brisbane (where I live) and came across a group in Meetup.com. There's a monthly meeting and I've signed up. I'm looking forward to seeing what goes on. Turns out there's 36 in the group. I don't know if they all meet but good to know there are more of us out there :-) -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Brisbane-meet-up-tp4925969.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Pharo-users] GitFileTree on Pharo 5.0

by Dimitris Chloupis

you dont need gitfiletree to use git with pharo, I use just filetreee and gitup which an excellent git client for macos You can find the cause of the problem but it wont be simple. This is a C problem not a pharo problem, meaning something is wrong with that library. To really find out what you will need to load the library from C and use the error detection functions to find what is wrong, you could use them from pharo too but you will still need to understand C to make use of the FFI. Unfortunately I cannot help much in this case because its more or less a continuous testing process. This is how I learned to do shared memory via the FFI. Made the code in C first and then ported to Pharo. I had to perform dozens of test to get it right and had to battle with dozens of errors. I have both Pharo 6 and Pharo 5 working fine on my macos sierra , so it must be something wrong with your system.

I do not want to bother. Just see if the issue is resolved on my system, or whether to postpone everything when update the operating system. But the gitFileTree support would be very useful to continue in a certain direction. Cheers, Dario

If one dependency fail then the whole library may fail. In that case you will need to locate a build for Cairo for the version of MacOS you are using and replace the dylib file or build it yourself, As you may imagine its very difficult for us to continue supporting very old OS , because we are a small community.

Re: [Pharo-users] GitFileTree on Pharo 5.0

by Dimitris Chloupis

because you run a very old macos version it may be possible that because Cairo lib has been compiled for more recent macos that this is the source of your problems. But I already told you to test Athens without installing anything including Roassal to be certain that this is actually a cairo problem.

Ciao, > I run Pharo 5.0 with no problems on a Macbook Pro, but itâs running OS X v. 10.12.1. Any reason your OS is backdated? i have a MacBookPro with OS X 10.7.5. with much work on it. The upgrade to a the last supported OS X on my book ( 10.11.6 ) is very problematic because with the upgrade the system can't restart, and consequently I should reformat the disk. This is no time for such risk.

The Roassal2 is not load in the image. I load it from Pharo Project Catalog. I select the Roassal2 project and do the Install stable version. ( a this point i have a strange dialog behaviour : when the system open a dialog with: Question Roassal2 has not been marked as tested for Pharo5.0! Do you want to continue (installation could fail )? when i i select the yes or no button the dialog with the same question is often redispaly. ) > Do not install anything before testings. Then if everything works proceed and install one thing, only, then test it, then install the next one etc. After install the Roassal2 like above and do the VGTigerDemo runDemo answer the same error: ExternalLibraryFunction(Object)>>error: ExternalLibraryFunction(Object)>>externalCallFailed ExternalLibraryFunction(ExternalFunction)>>invokeWithArguments: AthensCairoSurface class>>primImage:width:height: AthensCairoSurface class>>extent:format: AthensCairoSurface class>>extent: VGTigerDemo>>initialize VGTigerDemo class(Behavior)>>new VGTigerDemo class>>runDemo Thanks, Dario > Moving step by step will help us pin point your problem > > I suspect maybe something went crazy , it happens from time to time in pharo, recently I had a nasty corruption with Pharo 6.
