Re: Need help putting my Pharo package under source control

by MichaelKentBurns

I'm reading the Managing Code booklet. I'm on page 51 figure 5-6. I put in my details for my repository ( https://github.com/MichaelKentBurns/FredsLunch-Pharo-iceberg.git ). when I poke OK I get an exception window. see image below... Is there an easier way to capture the exception than a screenshot? <http://forum.world.st/file/t372658/Screen_Shot_2020-05-12_at_2.png> -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html

Re: [Pharo-users] FFI and absolute path to dll

by Trygve Reenskaug

At some point in the history of Win 7, MS changed the rules for file lookup /Standard Search Order for Desktop Applications/ /The standard DLL search order used by the system / /depends on whether safe DLL search mode is enabled or disabled./ /Safe DLL search mode places the user's current directory later in the search order./ At some point, MS enabled safe DLL search mode as default. It is now part of the Windows security barrier, and I dare not change it. A program I had scheduled to start every day stopped working when I moved the program to a new computer with a new edition of Windows. I'm hoping the creator of the program will fix the problem. In the mean time, I have to remember to start the program manually every morning. This applies to Win7 and Win 10. Hope this helps even if it doesn't solve the problem. --Trygve On 12.05.2020 21:04, ASAM wrote: > Hello, > I'm using Pharo 8 64bit on Windows 10 64bit. > I am trying to access a 32bit dll via a relative path. > > I'm desperate.

FFI and absolute path to dll

by ASAM

Hello, I'm using Pharo 8 64bit on Windows 10 64bit. I am trying to access a 32bit dll via a relative path. I'm desperate. I've been reading the document (http://books.pharo.org/booklet-uffi/pdf/2020-02-12-uFFI-V1.0.1) all the time up and down but I can't find an example of absolute path and Windows. If e.g. my.dll file would be stored here. C:\Program Files (x86)\GALEP5\my.dll then what should the method win32ModuleName return? Another question came to me while reading the document. It is actually important to know whether the DLL was generated as cdecl or stdcall? The dll i try to call use stdcall. I would be very happy if someone helps me. I can no longer see the message "External module not found" :-) Thanks a lot! -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html

Re: [Pharo-users] Need help putting my Pharo package under source control

This is the way to get the latest version of any of the booklets, their "work in progress" (WIP) versions. https://books.pharo.org/ lists most of the books on a splashy page that shows cover art, etc., but their versions can be behind the WIP versions. My experience has been that the WIP versions are preferable. (Note that not all booklets that are "in progress" have been submitted to the build process and resulted in a WIP document In these cases, you have the option of cloning the repository and examining each chapter file.) -t -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html

Sorry about that... You should end up on a GitHub "Releases" page for each document. In the section for the top-most release, you should see an "> Assets (3)" control. Click the arrow to open it. It should then list a PDF, a ZIP, and a '.tar.gz' document. You probably want the PDF, which you can read on the screen and/or print out. Download the document to your system by clicking on its link. -t -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html

Re: [Pharo-users] [ANN] Pharo Compendium

by Torsten Bergmann

Hi Sven, I added spotter search now. I prefixed the github spotter entries additionally with the user name (owner). This way you will be able to quickly find tagged public projects by keying in the project and/or username. See attached picture for an example. Catalog loading is possible via spotter too.
