new MacOS Spoon VM available
by Craig Latta 25 Feb '05

25 Feb '05

Hi-- With help from John McIntosh (thanks!), I built a new MacOS (Carbon) Spoon VM. Stéphane had pointed out that the previous one had very poor graphics performance (when running a snapshot with graphics support :). This one feels "normal" to me. There are no new Spoon VM changes here, so I'm not sure why the last one was so slow. http://www.netjam.org/spoon/releases/current/bits/MacOSSpoonVM.zip thanks, -C -- Craig Latta improvisational musical informaticist craig(a)netjam.org www.netjam.org [|] Proceed for Truth! -- Craig Latta improvisational musical informaticist craig(a)netjam.org www.netjam.org [|] Proceed for Truth!

MaxOS X Spoon VM grief
by Craig Latta 25 Feb '05

25 Feb '05

Hi-- Well, I can't seem to get a new MacOS X Spoon VM to run, despite being able to do it last February. I can build and run a vanilla VM from John's 3.8.6b6 sources, but when I run a VM with the Spoon changes in it (from http://www.netjam.org/spoon/releases/current/bits/vmChanges.zip ), on the Spoon control snapshot (from http://www.netjam.org/spoon/releases/current/bits/control.zip ), I get a crash on a bad memory access; but the Xcode debugger just shows me assembly, no source. My current motivation to build a new Spoon VM is to get faster graphics on MacOS X. The last one I built ( http://www.netjam.org/spoon/releases/current/bits/MacOSSpoonVM.zip ), performs absurdly slowly in MVC (reported by Stéphane). I also tried building a MacOS X Spoon VM from Ian's "unix" sources. The system starts, but the Display is all-black. Any help anyone can offer would be wonderful. Otherwise I guess I'll just wait another N months, when perhaps the sources are different in some good way, and try again... but I'd really rather make the Mac my main machine. thanks, -C -- Craig Latta improvisational musical informaticist craig(a)netjam.org www.netjam.org [|] Proceed for Truth!

Hi John-- > We've moved everything to an SVN server > > http://squeak.hpl.hp.com/svn/squeak/trunk > > svnx is a mac os-x client Hm, when I try to connect to a repository with that URL, svnx just seems to spin. Do I need to make special firewall affordances? Are there more detailed instructions somewhere? 'Sorry if this has been discussed before, I just joined the new list. If someone can point me at a URL for the archives of the new list, I'd very much appreciate it. thanks again, -C -- Craig Latta improvisational musical informaticist craig(a)netjam.org www.netjam.org [|] Proceed for Truth!

Porting to Playstation2.
by David Ryan 15 Feb '05

15 Feb '05

Hi vm-dev, As suggested on the squeak-dev mailing list, I should ask questions about porting on this list. As this list is still new, I hope there are people listening. :) My first problem. Getting to the ports source on subversion. I downloaded tortoise SVN and tried to do a SVN checkout on the location http://squeak.hpl.hp.com/svn/squeak/trunk At two locations I got the response REPORT request failed on '/svn/squeak/!svn/vcc/default' REPORT of '/svn/squeak/!svn/vcc/default': 400 Bad Request (http://squeak.hpl.hp.com) Anyone suggest anything I might be doing wrong? Either both my ISPs don't have very badly configured smart proxies or I'm doing something wrong. I suspect the later. If it is my ISPs, anyone have a snapshort archive I can use? I'm attempting to checkout to the location c:\squeak\src which I think is where VMMaker wants it? Thanks for any help, David.
