Summer of Code mentors needed
by Giovanni Corriga 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

Hi all, I'm putting together the application to the 2008 edition of the Summer of Code for the Squeak Foundation. You can see the draft here: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6031 Now what I'm missing is the list of possible mentors. If you're interested, please add yourself to the list on the page (complete with you google account if you have any) and please subscribe to the SoC mailing list ( http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/soc ). Ciao, Giovanni

Re: Parse an argument for a symbol that requires one

[Newbies] Parse an argument for a symbol that requires one Hi Marcus To get the best help, please describe the user story. What are you trying to do? You can give buttons arguments: myButton target: aTarget . myButton actionSelector: #someAction: . myButton arguments: Array with: myArgument . (You have to change #arguments: when ever the argument changes.) or you can use blocks as targets myButton target: [ aTarget someAction: myArgument ] actionSelector: value . where myArgument could be something like (FillinTheBlank request: 'Eh wot Marcus?') This all seems a difficult way to achieve something. Which is why I mention telling the story first. Then it might be seen if what you want is better achieved some other way.

Parse an argument for a symbol that requires one
by Marcus Strehlow 04 Mar '08

Hi guys, if you have a SimpleButtonMorph, you can decide what it should do and it's pretty easy. You say self target: aTarget actionSelector: #someAction. And it works. But what if not only an action should be executed, what if the actionSelector gets a symbol that requires an argument? In my case I need to change a variable first before further proceeding you see. So I am wondering if it is possible to do something like this: self target: aTarget actionSelector: #someAction: argumentRequired I have tried many ways, including constructing the action first in temporary variables and then just using that temp variable as actionSelector string. All my efforts have been in vain. There is a way to solve this for me, but it would be very tedious to do and would increase the code volume... and that's not what I want. If you have any ideas on this, let me know. Thanks, Marcus

Does anyone know where there is a version of Squeak that will install on the Asus eee? I tried the debian and generic linux version and they dont install/work. The debian version wong apt-install. It complains about missing binfmt-support dependency. The linux version segfaults.

Headless Squeak on Redhat - HELP!
by albegadeep 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

I have a small (P3) server running Redhat, and I'm trying to get Squeak running on it. Since there's no monitor, and the graphics subsystem isn't started in the usual runlevel, I need to run Squeak headless. I put image and change file into a directory (read, write, owned by user A) that should copy a couple of files when run, using Smalltalk addToStartUpList: MyClass. I load it up in Windows, and it works fine. I load it in Linux: [root@myserver A]# squeak -headless The cursor goes to the next line, and nothing happens. Any idea what's going wrong? How do I correct it? I will happily furnish any other info or troubleshooting that is needed. THANK YOU!
