No. 3.9-12 is from the zip file. I cannot even get the binary to run 'squeak -version'. It collapses when it tries to load libc.so. 6. Here is a simple test: $ unzip OLPC-Etoys080211.zip 3.9-12/squeak $ 3.9-12/squeak -version Floating point exception $ rm -f 3.9-12
The version compiled off the olpc/ branch (rev 1816) in svn runs fine on my box. $ bld/squeak 3.9-12 #1 Thu Feb 21 10:34:18 IST 2008 gcc 4.1.2 Squeak3.9alpha of 4 July 2005 [latest update: #7021]
The included 3.9-12 VM works fine on Fedora 7.
Yoshiki: I think we need to change a few things in the etoys.sh script:
- set encoding to UTF-8 - provide a sensible SQUEAK_SECUREDIR (~/.etoys?) and SQUEAK_USERDIR (~/Etoys?).
Besides, don't we want to add the browser plugin? And how about supporting a system-wide installation?
Same goes for Windows and Mac, btw. Isn't it time Etoys becomes a "real" application? I mean, no fiddling with images and dropping things onto executables etc. Just double-click and go, saving to a sensible place in the user's documents.
