OmniBrowser error
by Mark Volkmann 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

When I type new code in OmniBrowser, I'm getting the error below. Strange. I've been using this for over a month and never encountered this before. Ah! I see something interesting now. I just installed FreeType yesterday. That's in the stack trace. Is there a known issue with FreeType and OmniBrowser? --- Mark Volkmann

picking a Squeak VM on Mac OS X
by Michael Haupt 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Hi, I have several Squeak VMs lying around in various locations on my Mac. I want one (John's newest 3.8.19 VM) to be the default when an image is double-clicked. This works: open the information dialogue for a particular .image file, set the VM to the right thing, close the dialogue. This does NOT work: open the same information dialogue, set the VM, make it apply to *all* .image files. (Symptom: as soon as I confirm the change for all files, the setting is mysteriously switched back to the previous, outdated one.) It may be an OS X problem, I don't really know; perhaps someone here has a solution... (I don't want to delete the Squeak VMs all over the place; some of them are Croquet VMs after all.) Best, Michael

Running croquet on 64bit Linux
by Brad Fuller 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

I sent the following msg to the Croquet users list, with no response (yet). Thought someone here might give me a clue: What's the best way to run croquet on a 64-bit Linux computer? I downloaded the SDK and just ran the croquet shell and the text and graphics were hard to read. I was wondering if this had something to do with 32bit squeak and 64bit opengl. Does it? Thanks! -- Brad Fuller

iPhone 1.07
by John M McIntosh 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

I've push out an iPhone 1.07 VM. http://www.smalltalkconsulting.com/squeak.html This VM uses the latest core Pharo image. The VM has a number of changes to enable C data structure support and code examples for putting up a UITextEdit and UITextView for single and multiple line textual input, along with the ability to execute objective-c methods on the main thread versus the squeak thread. There is of course a new ObjectiveCPlugin for os-x users. For developers the key to getting a UITextEdit field to work is that you *must* create the UITextEdit thread on the main thread, otherwise if you create the object on the squeak thread, then attempt to use it for textual input on the main thread as per recommendations it deadlocks on a semaphore when it decides that the two process threads are different. Still to do is finishing the Keyboard entry logic, (oh I'm sure just a few minutes should do it...). Then I'll see if I can get a Menu control example working I've not included the VNC logic since I don't know if anyone uses it, or if it can be integrated into the Pharo image at this time, however I suspect someone will let me know. -- = = = ======================================================================== John M.

releasing apps.
by Mark Volkmann 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

For those of you that write non-web-based Smalltalk applications for users that aren't comfortable working in a Smalltalk environment, how do you typically package them up for your users? Are you able to provide them with a desktop icon that they can double-click to start the application? If so, can you point me to some documentation on how to do that? --- Mark Volkmann

UTF8 - squeak
by Mariano Martinez Peck 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Hi everybody! I am using Ubuntu 8.04, latin american keyboard, squeak 3.9 vm, squeak 3.10.2 of Damien Cassou. The problem is that I cannot type symbols like: "á" , "ó", "ú" and so on....If I press the keys for those symbols I get "´a" "´o" and "´u" respectively. So, I guess it can be a problem with UTF8. Does some know how can I fix this? is there somewhere in the squeak image I have to set the encoder ? many thanks for the help, Mariano

Morphic focus
by Mark Volkmann 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

How can I make focus start in a given text field? I thought sending wantsKeyboardFocus to a TextFieldMorph would do it, but that didn't work. --- Mark Volkmann

TextFieldMorph weirdness
by Mark Volkmann 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

I have a TextFieldMorph that displays with the default content of 'abc'. If I click in the field and type, what I enter is displayed. However, if I delete all the text from the field and then type, nothing is displayed. What's going on? --- Mark Volkmann

Arrggh - Squeak FFI in 3.10 again?!
by Torsten Bergmann 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

Hi Kjell, I came across your postings on problems on installing Exupery [1] in Squeak. I'm sure your problem is the Installation of FFI in the 3.10 image again. Arrrgghh!!! See the bug + fix [2] - just file in the changeset from above location [2] before loading FFI and tell me if it works. Unfortunately I tried to convince the community several times (see [3] for an example) to update the default 3.10 download images: - since people typically start by downloading an image from the website - since FFI is a very often used package for some of us and some packages depend on it - since not every new user knows about bug 6980 But unfortunately still nobody really cares. Yes there are nice Installer scripts and friends - but they dont automatically fix this problem for a fresh 3.10 Squeak download. However I als filed a bug report + fix [4] for Pharo in the hope that this Squeak distribution will be more user friendly than the standard Squeak in the future...
