Is there a way to intercept a shut down signal from Gnome on Freebsd to allow the user to perform an orderly exit from Squeak?

FFI versus BASH
by Chris Cunnington 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

I have a question that I imagine is going to reveal a big gap in my knowledge. Oh well. I have a framework such as QuickTime that I want to send a message to. In Sophie I can execute some code in a Workspace and it will go to the FFI, send a message to the QT framework, and then return. But I can't do that in BASH. To send a message to the library, I'd need to write a text file, compile, and then execute. Then the response comes back into the Terminal. Why can't I just enter Carbon functions in the shell and do what Workspace/FFI does? Or, does FFI compile on the fly and then de-compile to put an answer in Workspace? The real question here, I think, is what is a message in Linux? Is it a stream of bits with meta data? A message is being sent to the library, but I don't grok what that message is. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Chris

by anas drak 04 Jan '11

Dear sir/madame , I recently used Squeak for a while and I am interested in the greek localization of it. It would be helpful for the greek students to work with such a tool in greek. Please, send me information about the exact steps I should follow in order to make the greek localization of Squeak. I am thanking you in advance, A.Drakopoulos

Keyboard shortcuts in squeak (pharo)
by sserre 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Hello, Normaly, I use vim or emacs and find usefull to not use the mouse when I code. I did not find any reference to the shortcuts used to manage windows, class browther ect, in Pharo. It should exist, some of them are show when I right clic (save, doit, printit...), but google did not help me to find more. Some shortcuts that I will find very usefull migth permit: - to change the window focus (change windows) - move between the parts of the class browser (packages, classes[instaces, ?, class, hierarchy, variables...], categories, methods, edition), - close tools, open tools (class browser, transcript, workspace...) There maybe exist an alternative class browser/editor that will permit such things? Shortly, does anyone have the same horror of rats than me :), and what solutions have you found? Thanks in advance. Sébastien

Re: Image Not Locking Down

Thanks Herbert. I did as you said and its working fine now. For some reason I had to change the file name from .obj to .st (got that burst of inspiration from SBE at 2am LOL). Don't know if I am going to totally knacker the system by doing that but it seems to be working. PS I thought the squeak stone age was a bunch cave men trying to make fire at Xerox park by rubbing their mustaches ;-) - have you seen those old videos floating around youtube LOL. Thanks again Joe

PipableOSProcess#notifyError
by Aidan Gauland 02 Jan '11

02 Jan '11

Hi, Why does the following statement not appear to do anything? (I expected an error window to pop up.) (PipeableOSProcess command: 'false') notifyError. Stepping through this with the debugger, I found that the ExternalUnixOSProcess's runState is #unknownRunState instead of #complete, the value it must be in order for #notifyError to do anything. --Aidan
