Freetype package breaks preferences browser?
Hi all, Further to my previous email, I decided to install OSProcess/VMMaker. VMMaker installs a version of the freetype package, or rather fails to do so. This appears to be because it use _ for assignment, rather :=. Unfortunately, incompletely installing the package appears to have broken the preferences browser (attempting to launch it from the main menu results in an exception). Is there a way to undo the changes from the various packages loaded, and thus return my image to a sane state, or an alternative way to enable _, so that loading can continue?

Further to the below, I tried just fixing all the instances of _, and resulted in #messagenotunderstood 'or' exceptions being generated every second or so, until the VM locked up. On Mon, Aug 23, 2010 at 7:15 PM, Marcin Tustin <mm3@zepler.net> wrote:

You can send these changes to David. He may want to integrate it. That would ease the load in Pharo and won't break Squeak. You can also attach the PharoDebug.log that is in the same directory where your image is. Cheers Mariano

First, why are you loading VMMaker? I guess you don't need this package if you won't compile the plugin by yourself. Second, Pharo 1.0 or Pharo 1.1 ? I guess Pharo 1.1. Can you try evaluating: Scanner allowUnderscoreAsAssignment: true.

There is in Tools -> "Recent submissions" that may help you. In addition, you can take a text editor and open the .changes file and recover your lost code.

Thanks. I was under the impression from SqueakSource that the plugin needs to be compiled. Is there another site for the project that is more up-to-date/helpful/official? Given the screwy results once I loaded my changed version, I'm hesitant to submit them. On Mon, Aug 23, 2010 at 8:13 PM, Mariano Martinez Peck < marianopeck@gmail.com> wrote:

To load VMMaker + plugins manually, you need to 'Scanner allowUnderscoreAsAssignment: true'. If you want to fix it, first allow underscore, then change to := using http://book.pharo-project.org/book/TipsAndTricks/FixingUnderscores and submit your package to David :) Generally, the way to load VMMaker and plugins into Pharo is to use ConfigurationOfVMMaker. Take a look at ConfigurationOfVMMaker>>#pharoUndescoreAssignment , ConfigurationOfVMMaker>>#fixVMMakerForPharo.
