starting a program

by Hans Schueren

Hello , thank you for the answers. I will "copy" the folder on USB stick in the first way. Other options as github and launcher later. It is a little bit strange to start a program. There is one package. Inside the package are two classes. To start ONE class i do with classname new classname. But what must i do to start the whole programm ? Normally , after i have started the complete program. I have to save the program as the "program image file". Then this image will display the program when it is opened from the pharo.exe file. The program should run immediatelly in full screen mode. This sounds strange questions.

Actually its very simple on windows , macos and linux. You actually distribute the pharo folders as it is. You can rename the folder to the name of your application. In windows you can rename the folder and even rename the Pharo.exe to the name of your application , you can also change the icon, you can name your image anything you want the pharo binary will open any image it finds inside its folder , if there are multiple images it will display file dialog to let the user choose the image it want to load. You can zip the folder and send it to any of your friends via email or any other way that suits you. In macos a mac application is a folder , the mac users dont get exposed to binary executables , so all they see is that icon folder, so there is little reason to remame the binary executable, so all you have to do is rename the folder and add your own icon. Bare in mind that if you dont care about the looks you dont even neeed to rename the folder and the binary in either macos or windows or add your own icon. linux is a similar story. So basically in the question of what you need to do to distribute my code to people that dont have pharo installed in their system , the answer is "nothing at all, just copy paste the pharo folder containing your image". I dont think it can be any simple than that. One of the reasons of using pharo is how simple it is to distribute pharo applications. Any other language it get a lot more complex than that. As Stef said a more flexible way to do it is using Smalltalkhub, CI servers, git and github and probably many other options. But none of these options are necessary just to run your code in other pcs. These options offer you however better ways to manage code and test code in diffirent platforms.

What you can do is (this is one way to do it). (optional but you should do it for you) - save your packages in smalltalkhub so that you can always reload your program. - save the image with your application - you set the window in the right place (you could also remove some menus and other if needed). - then you have a little script that execute your image - depending on the machine you can define bat or script that launched your image. - the "one click" installer can provide a good start to deploy on mac, windows > The program is indeed ready programmed. > > > I have already realized that program code in Pharo is included in the > image.

I think that damien cassou wrote something like that in https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/PharoForTheEnterprise/lastSucces… You can look at the Pharo launcher because it is a small app developed in Pharo. You get inside the launcher there is a setting "development" once you click on it you can access the image "behind". > > > > Regards > > > Hans > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >

In case of failure, it will be handled in separate process" ^ (self handlesAnnouncement: anAnnouncement ) ifTrue: [ [action cull: anAnnouncement cull: announcer cull: self] on: UnhandledError fork: [:ex | ex pass ]] and you could use the block: [:event :announcer :sub | self thisMethodWith: differentParameters announcer removeSubscription: sub ] VW already does this for their announcement implementation, it might be a good idea to introduce the third parameter in stock Pharo as well.

starting a simple program - make EXE files for portable distrubution

by Hans Schueren

Hello programmers , i am a beginner pharo. Now i have a complete , simple smalltalk program READY. The many functions of Pharo are not important for me at the time. What i want to do is the following : 1. starting the whole program in the Pharo environment ( not only a class or method ) 2. saving the image files only for the program in afolder. 3. storing the program image file on a USB stick. 4. starting and using the program on another PC. Theese questions seems to be simple for professionals. But let me explain the case. The program code in Pharo is included in all the classes and Methods. There is a package that contains many classes and different methods that represents the flow of the smalltalk program. During the writing i can check the methods and classes by sending a question to it and see the results. I have started a method by : method runmethod. or method new openInWorld. But what must i type to start the whole program ? If there are many classes ? How can i store the program in a optional image.file ? The program is indeed ready programmed. I have already realized that program code in Pharo is included in the image. Not as a file. Are there any online sites or instructions to do that ? Regards Hans

Hi David, I guess you ask how to start the Server adapter during image startup in a VA Smalltalk runtime image, right? In that case, the VAST group on google groups would be the best place to ask because the server adaptor is one of the few platform specific pieces of code in Seaside. The server adaptor is the glue code between your Smalltalk's HTTP server (Zinc in most oss Smalltalks, SST in VAST) and the Seaside framework. Here is how you start the Server adaptor in VAST: (adaptor := WASstServerAdaptor port: self port) start. Please take a look at this as well: https://joachimtuchel.wordpress.com/?s=WASSTServerAdaptor&submit=Search Because the issue will arise once you start additional images or restart ones that failed and try to serve a port that's in use.

I would like to know how to create a Seaside Server Adaptor using code. Can anyone give me a clue?

You can always check with UIManager default what you have. If it is a Morphic one you could do UIManager default uiProcess suspend But at the same time it would be more useful to exchange it with a non-interactive on as you are not using RFB or such.
