Hi. Open Cobalt now runs mostly as it should on Squeak 4.1. It is not a finished port, but it is definitely enough to start playing with, testing out OpenGL, packaging it up for installation into current images, or whatever.
Up to date instructions are kept at http://cobalt.cs.duke.edu/pub/INSTALLING.txt
Reply with any questions. Current copy of installation instructions reproduced below.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the beta version of Cobalt ported to Squeak 4.1
To run me, you will need: - the latest cobalt-trunk.*.zip file from http://cobalt.cs.duke.edu/pub/ - the latest opencobalt-1.0alpha*.zip from http://www.cs.duke.edu/~jdougan/downloads/1.0alpha1/ - A recent VM from http://squeakvm.org - http://ftp.squeak.org/sources_files/SqueakV39.sources.gz
1. Unzip the opencobalt-1.0alpha*.zip folder somewhere 2. Unzip the cobalt-trunk.*.zip file inside the opencobalt-1.0alpha* folder. It contains 3 files: cobalt-trunk.*.image cobalt-trunk.*.changes config/cobalt-browser.conf 3. unzip SqueakV39.sources.gz and put SqueakV39.sources into the opencobalt-1.0alpha* folder 4. run cobalt-trunk.*.image using your VM 5. Do this: CProjectMorph open: CobaltModularPanel 6. Click the menu item Cobalt > Start Cobalt
== About this image ==
This image is a trunk image from November 2009, updated to the latest code in the trunk repository, except where that conflicts with Cobalt. Feel free to make a better image based on the current, 4.1 images.
Known issues are listed at http://cobalt.cs.duke.edu/pub/cobalt41todo.txt
Matthew,
That's fantastic!

Hi Matthew, is there any consensus/conclusion on sticking to Squeak 4.1 or coming 4.2 as the official base for Cobalt?
If so, what's the status? (I have seen krestianstvo SDK but got blocked in front of too much russian text/code...)
Thanks a lot for your feedback Bye Enrico

Currently, the official base for Cobalt is the unsupported 3.8-derived Croquet Homebase image, although we plan to change this by mid-january.
I just resumed the port to squeak trunk this past week. It is tracking the trunk right now, and I don't see any need to use a stable squeak as base until cobalt itself is stable (which will be at least another year)
If so, what's the status? (I have seen krestianstvo SDK but got blocked in front of too much russian text/code...)
I just resumed the port. I just released open cobalt 1.0 alpha 4 with squeak trunk as a base today. It is as close to the official open cobalt 1.0 alpha 4 as possible, sans bugs. I am working to make squeak trunk ready to be the official base of OpenCobalt by January:
http://cobalt.cs.duke.edu/pub/1.0-alpha-trunk/opencobalt-1.0alpha4-trunk.zip
For reference, the official current version of cobalt is:

Hi Matthew, thanks for your feedback and work.
I look forward to having a (more stable ;-) Cobalt version and based on Squeak Trunk. (Maybe this will allow and make it easier for Teleplace to contribute croquet-relevant code/fixes to Cobalt)
Bye Enrico
