[Vm-dev] Re: [Vm-beginners] Re: Got "Error: basicNew: failed" when running InterpreterSimulator

[Mariano Martinez Peck]

Hi Nick. Unfortunatly, few people use the interpreter. Even less (if none)
do it in Pharo. The only ones I know that use the simulator right now is
Eliot in Squeak and Graig in Spoon.
So...as you can see, the simulator is implemented in image side. Since Eliot
uses Squeak for his development, is more likely the simulator will work
easier in Squeak than Pharo. Of course that for the Pharo community it would
be AWESOME to be able to run the simulator. So if you can help with that,
excellent.
As an example, in Pharo you have the error. But in Squeak you have:

String asDisplayText
    "Answer a DisplayText whose text string is the receiver."

    ^DisplayText text: self asText

:)

So... my suggestion? start with squeak. Once you make it work, please,
update it in order to make it work in Pharo :)

In your case, I would try with 3 squeak images: 4.2, 4.3 and the one eliot
uses in: http://www.squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/branches/Cog/image/  (
VMMaker-Squeak4.1.image<http://www.squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/branches/Cog/image/VMMaker-Squeak4.1.image>
)

cheers
