I can load the following packages out of the squeaksource repository: Rome-Balloon Rome-Base Rome-PluginCanvas Rome-SVG Rome-Strike Rome-Tests Rome-Reference Rome-BalloonCanvas
The rest give me errors about lacking other classes, which I reproduce below. Are the packages that load enough to be useful, or am I going to be stuffed when playing around with Rome?
You only need Rome-Base, Rome-Balloon, Rome-PluginCanvas to get started, provided you have the Rome plugin. To experiment without the plugin, load Rome-Reference and Rome-BalloonCanvas, too.
This is actually noted on http://squeaksource.com/Rome.html
The reason is that Rome supports several back-ends, the PluginCanvas uses Cairo, BalloonCanvas uses Balloon2D.
If so, where should I get the dependencies? Also, there's a lack of class comments. Is there documentation elsewhere? Is Rome even ready to be used at all?
Rome is used in the Sophie project.
Rome-Demo also gives me a syntax error: fontFor: aCanvas family: aFamily style: aStyle has a full stop after the comment. After fixing this it gives me an error because RomeFreetypeCanvas is not recognised.
Rome-Freetype seems to only live at
http://source.impara.de/Rome.html
(the repository used by the Sophie developers)
Thanks all!
Rome-Tweak depends on: This package depends on the following classes: CMatrixTransform CBitmapFill CTransformCanvas CDisplayTransform CCostumeFill CGraphicsFill CNoFill CIdentityTransform CProjectBuilder CSolidFill CGradientFill COffsetTransform
These are Tweak classes. Ignore if you do not use Tweak.
Rome-FontManager: This package depends on the following classes: FreetypeFontFace FreetypeFont
The FontManager is Sophie-specific. It depends on Freetype:
http://source.impara.de/freetype.html
Rome-Plugin: This package depends on the following classes: SmartSyntaxInterpreterPlugin CCodeGenerator TSendNode
This is the plugin source code, you need it only if you want to translate and compile your own plugin.
