Hello Bert, hello all,
with the information you provided (trank you again) I wanted to see if I really could run Rome in normal Squeak.
Unfortunately I'm still unable to do so. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but don't know what. Squeak is being unable to find or load the plugin, while Croquet does.
Here is exactly what I do to reproduce this:
I download Sophie alpha 122201 from location:
http://dev.sophieproject.org/downloads/releases/Sophie06122201.zip
And download Squeak for Windows from location:
http://ftp.squeak.org/current_stable/win/Squeak3.9-win32.zip
Unpack them both, and copy all .DLL files from Sophie to Squeak (directory where Squeak.exe is). I overwrite SqueakFFIPrims.dll
I open Squeak, open Monticello browser, and add the repository:
MCHttpRepository location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/Rome' user: '' password: ''
I load following packages in this order:
Name: Rome-Base-JMM.17 Author: JMM Time: 9 November 2006, 5:37:27 pm UUID: 059dade3-705c-11db-bfd6-000d93333b80 Ancestors: Rome-Base-bf.16
Loads fine. No warnings.
Name: Rome-Balloon-jl.46 Author: jl Time: 6 September 2006, 2:31:50 pm UUID: d2102272-2e26-409c-bf95-37edc225ec66 Ancestors: Rome-Balloon-jl.45
Loads fine. No warnings.
Now when I load this one:
Name: Rome-PluginCanvas-JMM.41 Author: JMM Time: 3 November 2006, 12:28:49 pm UUID: e9dab2da-6b79-11db-a2e4-000d93333b80 Ancestors: Rome-PluginCanvas-JMM.40
A warning comes:
This package depends on the following classes: CImageResource You must resolve these dependencies before you will be able to load these definitions: CImageResource classSide>>readFrom:type:
I "Proceed" and it loads fine (no error or any other messages).
Finally, I load:
Name: Rome-Demo-bf.32 Author: bf Time: 29 August 2006, 7:39:21 pm UUID: 4e225962-3785-11db-8c12-000d93ca8ba0 Ancestors: Rome-Demo-jl.31
I open a Workspace window and evaluate:
Evaluate: RomeDemo demoSophieLogo Result: Error window with "Error: no concrete rome canvas available" (see debug-log as attachment)
Evaluate: RomePluginCanvas pluginAvailable Result: false
I "Save & Quit" and reopen and retry, same result.
Now I try with Croquet...
I Download Croquet from location:
http://mirror.services.wisc.edu/mirrors/croquet/SDK-1.0/universal.zip
I unpack it and again I copy all .DLLs from Sophie to Croquet (into the Croquet.exe directory, again overwriting SqueakFFIPrims.dll)
I open Croquet, and go to project "Scratch".
Again, I open a Monticello browser, add the repository, open it, load Rome-Base, Rome-Balloon, Rome-PluginCanvas, Rome-Demo. All load fine, this time without any warning whatsoever.
I open a Workspace.
Evaluate: RomePluginCanvas pluginAvailable Result: true
Evaluate: RomeDemo demoSophieLogo Result: (logo is drawn)
So, I think something is missing, or I need to do something extra for Squeak to see and use the Rome plugin...?
Thanks in advance,
Sebastian
