Hi herbert I did not read the issue but I imagine that it may be linked to the fact that it raises an exception or not. Now streams can also be infinite so atEnd: for them is always false.

Re: [Pharo-users] PharoLauncher image loading error

by Stephane Ducasse

Hilaire can you tell us which image? or which version of Pharo? Old versions of Pharo are not supported by Pharo Launcher because of obvious lack of manpower. Stef On Mon, Mar 26, 2018 at 2:12 PM, H.

Re: [Pharo-users] Black screen on Mac OSX

by Stephane Ducasse

Hi hilaire I'm on 10.12.6 and I downloaded the latest version of DRGeo I can find on the link in your signature. First I had problem to launch it because it is blocked by the security manager and yes I can confirm that the system just open a black screen. I had to kill the app. Stef On Mon, Mar 26, 2018 at 2:19 PM, H.

Re: [Pharo-users] Zeroconf for Windows?

by Esteban Lorenzano

hi, zeroconf works for linux, macOS or an MSYS system (msys or cygwin) they will not work with plain Windows and that was never the purpose: it was to easy CI tasks. of course, I understand a lot of people wants to use them for their day to day work (as I do it myself), but it will not be prepared for all possible uses. also, almost every programmer needing a command line in windows will need something like msys and cygwinâ¦ you want to install it too ;) cheers!

Zeroconf for Windows?

by horrido

The instructions for Pharo Zeroconf scripts seem to be specific to Linux or macOS. How do I use Zeroconf in Windows? I can install curl but there is no bash. -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
