Morphic and business apps
by Guenther Schmidt 05 Feb '05

05 Feb '05

Hi, I've been using Dolphin for creating apps with a rather trivial business logic, and it was a lot of fun, smalltalk is just great. However since I'll hardly ever write a killer app, I just want my apps at least to look cool. I've seen some screenshots from the Exobox project (which unfortunately I can't find anymore) and that's exactly the kind of UI I want to implement. But that's pretty hard with Dolphin as it's using standard windows widgets, I reckon I could try ActiveX, but that would take me out of smalltalk. How *is* Morphic, I mean how is it usable for writing, well business apps with a great UI? What I've seen is Morpic and Squeak used for Etoys, drawing and such but I'm not sure if it's suitable for business apps. There is the bank account tutorial and that's indeed a business app, but only showing business logic, and no UI. Your 2 cents very appreciated. Günther

Re: Error in loading script
by John Pierce 05 Feb '05

05 Feb '05

Hi Lynn, Thanks for the screen dump of the problem with the automated 3.7 image build script (www.saltypickle.com/Home/10). I just updated the 3.7 script and it now functions correctly for 3.7. It appears that the package 'Background Loader' on Squeak Map is not resolving properly so essentially it is a 'Background Loader' package problem, but my build script is not tolerant of the inability of a package that fails to load. So for the short term I commented out Background Loader. I also took the opportunity to upgrade the script to the latest packages of my favorite programs. Again, this automated build script is just *my* favorite set of packages. The technique of automating the build of Squeak is useful to all I suspect -- and I'm glad others find it useful. Enjoy! John PS - As for the username / password dialogs that come up at the beginning of the script execution, these can be left blank if you'd like as it doesn't really matter unless you are trying to post updates to my squeaksource (squeak.saltypickle.com). The last dialog should be a question about your initials for the image itself because ODBC for Squeak package will require that later if I don't ask at the beginning and there is nothing I hate more than an automated build script that stops to ask a question in the middle of its work.

[ENH] ProcessBrowser register well known processes dynamically
by David T. Lewis 05 Feb '05

05 Feb '05

ProcessBrowser maintains a list of well-known processes that it uses to display nicknames for the processes and to control how the processes are manipulated in the browser. This change set adds the ability to register and unregister additional well-known processes dynamically. This permits a package that introduces new system processes to register the processes for display and to protect against accidental termination of the processes with a ProcessBrowser. Dave

from preamble: "Change Set: OBFix-Evaluation Date: 4 February 2005 Author: Alexandre Bergel When evaluating an expression in the code pane of a browser, the receiver should always be the class, and not the metaclass if the 'class' button is on."!

Unix VM autoconf etc
by Michael Roberts 05 Feb '05

05 Feb '05

Hi, I'm trying to build the Unix VM from the SVN repository and the versions of autoconf/automake etc that come with my Suse 9.2 are not compatible with making the platforms/unix/config directory. I would really, really appreciate it if someone could tell me which versions are appropriate for any packages that I need - autoconf, automake, libtool, m4 etc. If actually it isn't possible without some hand-crafting then that would be useful too. I am trying different versions but slowly going insane. many thanks Mike
