Re: How to use Spec 2.0 with GTK in Pharo 9.

by Esteban Lorenzano

Hi Tau, the gtk backend does not comes loaded by default, you need to load it: Metacello new repository: 'github://pharo-spec/Spec-Gtk'; baseline: 'SpecGtk'; onConflict: [ :e | e useIncoming ]; onUpgrade: [ :e | e useIncoming ]; load. and of course, remember you need gtk3 in your system :) check here: https://github.com/pharo-spec/Spec-Gtk cheers!

Hi Yanni, Now vms are organised by architecture. The link to get the lastest vm for Darwin x86_64 is now https://files.pharo.org/get-files/90/pharo-vm-Darwin-x86_64-latest.zip Otherwise, we recommend using zeroconf or the pharo launcher, as they detect your machineâs architecture and download the right thing for you regardless of the link.

Re: Pharo 9.0 vm same-as Pharo 8.0 ?

by Guillermo Polito

Hi Igouy, Kind of, yes. In Pharo9 we now support many different architectures, meaning that vms are not only compiled for 32/64 bits, but for aarch64 or x86-64. This means that link is now obsolete in favour of pharo-vm-Linux-[ARCH]-stable.zip. For example - pharo-vm-Linux-x86_64-stable.zip - pharo-vm-Linux-aarch64-stable.zip Regardless of that, one important point is that all files inside get-files are intended to be private to zeroconf and subject to change. The public download links are (as always) inside: https://files.pharo.org/vm/pharo-spur64/ Where for Pharo9 they are now organised by architecture too. Old versions (pre pharo9) are still there in the old places.

How to use Spec 2.0 with GTK in Pharo 9.

Hi. I'm learning Spec 2.0 with the help of the book "Building user interface with Spec 2.0". In section 2.17 of the book, the authors make a subclass of SpGtkConfiguration. However, no such class exists, only a SpMorphicConfiguration. Moreover, if I do something like: "app useBackend: #Gtk", I get a NotFound error. Again, "app useBackend: #Morphic" work as intended.

UK Smalltalk User Group Meeting - Wednesday 28th July 2021

by Giovanni Corriga

The next meeting of the UK Smalltalk User Group will be on Wednesday, July 30th. Russell Allen will talk to us about Self ( https://selflanguage.org/ ). Dating back to the late 1980s, Self is a prototype based programming language and environment in the broader Smalltalk family. Although Self has always been a niche research system, its influence can still be seen in areas as diverse as the fast VMs of Java and Javascript, in the prototype semantics of Javascript, and in the Morphic user interface used by Squeak, Pharo and Cuis. Russell Allen ( https://twitter.com/russell_allen_ ) has a background in law and computers and first came across Self in the late 1990s. Around 2008 he helped get Self running on Linux x86, set up the Self website and GitHub account, and for the last decade or so he has been helping keep Self as a project alive. In this talk, Russell will demonstrate Self as a running system, including the object semantics, language, and the multi-user Morphic development environment. heâll talk about the current status of the project and the challenges it faces for the future. Given the current COVID-19 restrictions, this will be an online meeting from home. Please note that the meeting will start later than usual, to accomodate the speaker who will connect from Australia. If you'd like to join us, please sign up in advance on the meeting's Meetup page ( https://www.meetup.com/UKSTUG/events/cbklbrycckblc/ ) to receive the meeting details. Donât forget to bring your laptop and drinks!

Re: [ANN] Pharo 9 released!

by Norbert Hartl

Great news! Finally it arrived. Big changes happened and this release might feel a bit rough. But that is expected. And we should not underestimate the value of moving all tools to spec. That makes all of it (yet again) less dependent in morphic. Having an idle vm is also highly appreciated for peole like me that do a lot of server installations. Well done and thanks for the hard work!

Pharo 9 released - a brief experience report

by Yanni Chiu

First, great work and thanks to all contributors. Using macOS Big Sur version 11.4 on MacBook Air 2019... 1. In a new sub-directory "pharo9" (I was using a pharo8 directory, so pharo9 is to keep things separate). In pharo9, I used "curl -L https://get.pharo.org/64/ | bash" to get the latest release. Then I ran ./pharo-ui to start Pharo. Very strangely, it was able to present my pharo8 images to choose for opening. I quit without choosing any image, then went looking to find out how it was able to find the settings. In the course of that, I realized the default download had got me the 8.0 release. 2. Then I used "curl https://get.pharo.org/90+wm | bash". The image came up with a strange looking dialog across the top that indicated freetype font lib's could not be loaded. I just proceeded and was able to navigate somewhat. The Settings for fonts were completely absent. I kept browsing, but more freetype font problems kept appearing. 3. I then compared the dylib's in the pharo-vm (what I had in pharo8) vs. what I just got in pharo9 - very different lists. I copied the libfreetype.6.dylib, libfreetype.dylib, and libFT2Plugin.dylib files to the new vm, and then the Pharo9 image came up nicely. 4. I thought I was home free, and continued browsing. I happened to look at the Pillar-Core code, and I got "Cannot locate libcairo.2.dylib". Browsing a few other places did not show this problem. That's it for now. I will try a bit more later, but I'm going back to Pharo8 for today. Yanni Chiu
