Hi,
Thanks, that's very nice.
There is also a mac build here:
http://files.pharo.org/platform/ <http://files.pharo.org/platform/>
and the pharo 4 one does not work. That's the one I found when I poked around and tested it.
oops⦠I forget to update that one. I will do it next week, thanks for reporting! Esteban
cheers

Hi,
Pharo 4 might be hard on MacOS Sierra.
There was a late change to the VM, at least for Squeak, to stop the black screen on startup on Sierra. Pharo 4 was before that change, and, for that matter, before Sierra. Pharo 5 was after and clearly has that change.
I updated the VM on Pharo 4 to work also on Sierra, so this does not remains true :)
I'm pretty sure that the patches are one of these two:
https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/... <https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/commit/70ada3a6e4983891a5d...>
https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/... <https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/commit/f2b5cf27f81e50c6553...>
and I'm almost 100% sure that the second is the magic one.
The simple solution would be to replace the VM in the Pharo 4 bundle with the VM in the Pharo 5 bundle, but, alas, the VM in the Pharo 5 bundle can't read the image from Pharo 4.
no, it will not work, because Pharo 5 is spur and Pharo 4 is not
So it would look as if one's choices are:
* Build the version of the VM from the Pharo 4 bundle, but, apply one or both of the patches above. * Figure out why Pharo 4 is necessary and move to Pharo 5. * Run a squeak V3 VM and hack something together. This might not give the full Pharo experience.
To run the squeak V3 do the following:
Download and unzip the newest Squeak V3 VM.
https://bintray.com/opensmalltalk/vm/download_file... <https://bintray.com/opensmalltalk/vm/download_file?file_path=cog_macos32x86_...>
Alt click on the CocoaFast app and choose open. Quit.
Download Pharo 4. Alt click on Pharo 4 and choose "Show Package Contents." Navigate to Contents -> Resources. Drag the "Pharo4.0.image" overtop the CocoaFast app and it launches. You do have startup errors, so, you now have some time to play around.
I realize that neither look so easy, though the second one is probably the wisest just because the Pharo group moves quickly.
⦠or you can download the Pharo 4.0 VM (from here: http://files.pharo.org/get-files/40/ <http://files.pharo.org/get-files/40/>) and run your Pharo 4.0 and Pharo 3.0 app without problems (I didnât try Pharo 2.0 and 1.4, but I do not see why they wouldnât work). now, Pharo 1.0 will not work I think, because it is not a Stack image (it didnât existed at the time)⦠there yes, you will need one of the legacy VMs that we do not maintain anymore⦠for that, there are some VMs around, but I frankly would migrate any 1.0 based image⦠is work (and maybe hard work), but at the end it will pay :)
if what you have is a OneClick package, the best approach is to extract your Pharo*.image, Pharo*.changes and Pharo*.sources and then use the Pharo 4.0 VM with them,

For me it is not clear at all from[2] if there is any Mac VM 4.0. May be Esteban can enlighten us.

So, what's the proper procedure? I just moved my Pharo4 to the Application directory and it didn't work? Launched but the window is black. Is there a new Pharo4 VM for MacOS? If so, where is it?
Thanks,
Jeff
