How do I re-launch my Pharo image?
squeak.exe C:/pathToMyImage/myImage.image
or just copy your image to whereever you see fit and then run squeak.exe and when it asks which image to open, choose the one you prefer.
I tried that. Â The effect is the same as double-clicking the image file: it starts up the VM, which then tries to read the image as a UTF8 file, and gives me a walkback.
If I just launch the VM, it does NOT ask me which image to open. Â It opens Paharo.app\Contents\Resources\Pharo.image, and complains that it can't write the corresponding Pharo.changes.
if you open same image two times, it will bark about this. Also, if VM crash, it also sometimes could leave a read lock on that file.
This is true even though I have moved the VM into another place on my disk (along with the sources and the image + changes files that I want it to open).
There is nothing wrong with the image file itself, btw. Â I copied it to my Mac on a memory stick, and was able to launch it and work in it for most of yesterday.
I'm at my wits end with this. Â Am I the first person to try the COG VM on Windoze?
No. I tried Cog and built my own on Windows a lot of times.. and i had no any inconvenience with it. I just not using a pre-built 'setup' solutions, because its useless to me, since i VM hacker :)
