Step grane, Did you know of the PDF4smalltalk project in vw. It's quite ahead and there is also a reporting infrastructure built and guys are willing to port to other dialect Ciao Giorgio Ferraris Sent from my iPhone On Apr 24, 2012, at 7:15 AM, Stéphane Ducasse <stephane.ducasse@inria.fr> wrote:

Congrats on the release of Pharo 1.4!! Very exciting. Also, Nautilus looks nice -- in my first few minutes of using it.
- One of my goals is to generate PDF reports. From Pharo, it appears that Pango/Cairo may give me a solution. And then I saw Athens, and thought it might be helpful.
Olivier Auverlot who worked with several pdf libraries (he was working for an administration) is building a PDF generator library. He showed us some results and this is promising. Ask him. :)
I used the configuration tool to load Athens, but then realized that I need to load Cairo first -- I thought maybe it would be picked up as a dependency... i am not very familiar with these configurations yet, and it appears that it did not install it.
On which platform are you? because you should install the libraries first. Then watch the video on athens that igor sent around last week.

As I look around, I am having troubles finding a description of the optimal loading process for Pango & Cairo, for Pharo. My searches keep giving me very old/sub-optimal references on the forums. Nothing that works when i "do it" -- so I am obviously missing something.
Can someone please direct me to web pages describing the optimal loading technique for Pango & Cairo, or provide the Gofer lines here? Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance! Cam
