Roasssal not working on Windows with Pharo 6.1
Is it just me or my systems but is there a major problem with Roassal on Pharo 6.1 on Windows? At work on my Windows 7 machine, Roassal installs from the catalog browser but the examples will not run. I get an error - External module not found. it seems to be looking for the Surface dll which is definitely present in the pharo folder. On my Windows 10 netbook, Roassal will not even install from the catalog browser. It starts to install then comes up with an unhelpful "something has gone wrong" message. Roassal still works in Pharo 5. So is this just a 6.1 issue? -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html

No luck. I cannot say whether this fixes the problem on Windows 7 because I'm not at work. But roassal will not install on my Windows 10 laptop. Other items from the Catalog Browser install OK. So it's a problem with Roassal in particular. -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
Do fonts on the system look weird? If you execute 'hello' asText allBold, ' world' asText is the first half bold? Because sometimes Windows just **** ups and prevents Pharo from loading some libraries, including Font, and in such cases Roassal also doesn't work. But restart (or two) so far as always fixed it somehow magically. Peter On Sat, Sep 23, 2017 at 12:04 PM, kmo <voxkmp@gmail.com> wrote:

All looks OK to me. No font issues. -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
Hello Just to be sure, if you follow these steps, please, does it still not work? 1) Download whole Pharo 6.1 Windows package from http://files.pharo.org/platform/Pharo6.1-win.zip 2) Unzip it and open it by running Pharo.exe (not the .image file) 3) Load Roassal using following code: Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'ObjectProfile' project: 'Roassal2'; configurationOf: 'Roassal2'; loadStable. I have Windows 10 1703 64bit and all works fine to me. Jan kmo wrote

Many thanks. I tried this and it worked fine and Roassal installs and runs. I then typed the same gofer command into my original Pharo 6.1 directory and I got an error - #withSqueakLineEndings was sent to nil. Perhaps that's a clue to what was going wrong. -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
I recommend replacing your VM by last stable one from http://files.pharo.org/vm/pharo-spur32/win/stable-20170827.zip and if it does not help, replacing the image by current one from http://files.pharo.org/image/60/60510.zip You probably use older image or VM that either contained some kind of bug that has been already fixed in current version, or something has been changed, Roassal adapted to it, but your older image or VM does not contain that change to which Roassal is adapted now.

Roassal is working Ok on my Wndows 10 laptop now. But on my 32-bit Windows 7 PC at work it still does not work. Here's the steps to reproduce: ) Download whole Pharo 6.1 Windows package from http://files.pharo.org/platform/Pharo6.1-win.zip 2) Unzip it and open it by running Pharo.exe (not the .image file) 3) Load Roassal using following code: Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'ObjectProfile' project: 'Roassal2'; configurationOf: 'Roassal2'; loadStable. 4) Roassal now loads successfully. Go to Roassl example. Display examples. Everything works OK. No problems at all with Roassal. 5) Save imafge as "MyRoassal.image" 6) quit Pharo 7) Launch pharo again 8) select "MyRoassal .image" 9) Pharo opens the image but Roassal no longer works. It cannot find an external module. Somehow saving and re-opening the image has broken Roassal. See image. <http://forum.world.st/file/t368903/roassalbug.png> -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
This is really weird. Any idea anyone? Alexandre

The problem is fixed now. I loaded up pharo at lunchtime and all the roassal images worked perfectly. No problems at all. But I had done nothing. No changes at all. The only thing I can think of is that I may have rebooted since the last time I ran pharo. But I'm not sure. So it's all still a mystery but at least everything is working now. -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
Hi! Looks like a dll is missing. @Milton: have you experience this problem under windows? Alexandre

I couldn't reproduce any problem installing Pharo 6.1 in Windows 8.1 from command line: wget -O- get.pharo.org/61+vm | bash - And then installing Roassal from the Catalog Browser. All the examples ran wiithout problems. Cheers Hernán 2017-09-23 5:57 GMT-03:00 kmo <voxkmp@gmail.com>:
