Finding packages
by Bob Cowdery June 25, 2010

June 25, 2010

Sorry if this is a bit of a basic question. Could someone enlighten me on how to install packages please. I want to be able to run command files under windows from within Pharo. It looks like I need OsProcess or maybe CommandShell. I assume these should be installable from Monticello. I don't see any search facility in the Monticello Browser and tried a few repositories but failed to find what I needed. What's the best way to find packages. Thanks Bob

Changing Fonts in Pharo
by tgc05 June 24, 2010

June 24, 2010

I'm new to Pharo and am working through the PBE book. I would like to change the fonts (and their size) used in the OmniBrowser and generally throughout Pharo. In particular, the font in the text input panes. I'd like to be able to use DejaVu Sans Mono, if available. Failing that, the default font is OK, if it could just be larger. (or is there a zoom feature?) Can someone tell me how I can customize these settings? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Changing-Fonts-in-Pharo-tp2267560p2267560.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Error:invalid utf8 input detected.
by Guillermo Polito June 24, 2010

June 24, 2010

Hi there! We are using Pharo to teach OOP in UTN university, Argentina. Some times students have the error Invalid utf8 input detected when loading an image or doing a file out of a category. I think it happens mostly (or always, i'm not sure) in the OneClicImage, when running on windows. Is it a known issue? Thanks!

Pharocasts: How to contribute updated + WorldMenu
by laurent laffont June 23, 2010

June 23, 2010

Hi, Learn how to: - choose an issue to fix from the Pharo issue tracking - create and send a slice with your fix - add entries into the World Menu Code must be sent as a SLICE named SLICE-Issue-xxxx-description. Patrick Barroca and StÃ©phane Ducasse have added a +Slice button in Pharo 1.1 to ensure this convention. For more informations on the contribution process, read "How to contribute" on Pharo wiki. Here I show how issue #2582 (Rearrange WorldMenu) has been fixed, based on WorldMenu registration chapter in the Pharo CollaborActive book. Screecast here: http://pharocasts.blogspot.com/2010/03/how-to-contribute-to-pharo.html <http://pharocasts.blogspot.com/2010/03/how-to-contribute-to-pharo.html> Cheers, Laurent Laffont http://pharocasts.blogspot.com/ http://magaloma.blogspot.com/

Installing GlorpDBX on Pharo 1.1
by Esteban A. Maringolo June 22, 2010

June 22, 2010

Hi All, What do I have to do to get GlorpDBX installed on a Pharo 1.1 beta image? Sorry, but I'm new to the Gofer, Metacello, Monticello, Installer ss and all those utilities. Every time I try to catch up, it's always a step ahead of me :) Thank you! -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Installing-GlorpDBX-on-Pharo-1-1-tp2263345p2263345.ht… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

What's the correct way to create anonymous subclasses in Pharo?
by Joachim Geidel June 21, 2010

June 21, 2010

Hi everybody, I am attempting to create subclasses of existing classes at runtime. They must not be in their superclass' list of subclasses, because they have to be garbage collected when they are no longer needed. This is what I tried to create such a class in Pharo 1.0: newMeta := (Metaclass new) superclass: Rectangle class methodDictionary: MethodDictionary new format: Rectangle class format; yourself. newClass := (newMeta new) superclass: Rectangle methodDictionary: MethodDictionary new format: Rectangle format; setName: #MyRectangle; yourself. newClass new class == newClass "--> false" The result of "newClass new" seems to be an instance of Rectangle, not of newClass. The test at the end of the code snippet answers false. When I compile a new method in newClass and install it in newClass' methodDictionary, an instance will not understand a message with the method's selector. Almost the same code will do what I want in VisualWorks: | newMeta newClass | newMeta := (Metaclass new) superclass: Rectangle class; methodDictionary: MethodDictionary new; setInstanceFormat: Rectangle class format; yourself. newClass := (newMeta new) superclass: Rectangle; methodDictionary: MethodDictionary new; setInstanceFormat: Rectangle format; setName: #MyRectangle; yourself. newClass new class == newClass "--> true" Does anybody have an idea what the problem is and what can be done to circumvent it? Thanks in advance! Joachim Geidel

Writing extensions
by Bob Cowdery June 21, 2010

June 21, 2010

Hi all, I played with Squeak about 4 years ago and I built some extensions in C. I would like to do the same again with Pharo and I have a big lump of C I would like to interface to. I can't actually remember what I did before and can't seem to find the tutorial I used. Could somebody point me in the right direction please. Thanks Bob

Glorp & PostgresV2
by Sven Van Caekenberghe June 14, 2010

June 14, 2010

Hi, A similar question regarding Glorp & PosgresV2: what is the official Pharo standpoint regarding this ? There is no ConfigurationOfGlorpNativePostgreSQL (there are some for DBX, but I don't need that). I used GlorpPharoLoader loadGlorpWithNativePostgreSQLDriver. I had to make some small changes to GlorpDriverPostgreSQL and PostgresV2 to make more tests succeed. The installer did also load the underscore.cs hack adding an ugly star in Monticello to Compiler (Scanner#xLetter). But all in all it does work great and fast. Is this something for the Pharo list or should I go ask my questions somewhere else ? Sven
