Hi Christian.
I���m trying to port from VW 8.3 to Pharo. Is there a detailed algorithm in addition to the Workflow section mentioned here?:
- generate the source for the target dialect from VisualWorks with the defined code transformations. Fix problems so that there are no errors or warnings.
���
How does one generate the source (run the transformation)? Where are the aforementioned ���defined code transformations���, Is there an example of how to setup the declarative template needed to map VW namespace names to Pharo class prefixes?
I loaded the following packages into my VW 8.3 image:
Values Project
Values
Values Fileout Pharo
Values Testing
Values Tools
Values Tools Testing
Pharo Fileout Values
Pharo Transform
Smalltalk Transform Project
Smalltalk Transform TestBundle
Smalltalk Transform Tests
Smalltalk Transform
Smalltalk Transform Model
Smalltalk Transform Testing
Smalltalk Transform TestPackage
Smalltalk Transform Tools
Any package not updated recently (in the last few months) I didn���t load.
Did I miss anything?
2. Port the Values package. This is easy, since no namespaces are involved.
This first instruction after VW package setup says to port the contents of the Values package from VW to Pharo. Do you mean manually? Probably not.
I feel like I���ve missed the main details of how to start the transformation. I���d like to do a small fully contained test package with no external dependencies as a first test, probably my Magnitude or Collection packages. Suggestions are welcome. Thanks for doing this and sharing it.
