Hi all, it's possible to import a Squeak .cs file with some classes into a VisualWorks 7.3 non commercial image, to realize a simple port of an application? I have opened a File Browser in VW and selected the .cs file but the file in button is disabled. I work on Linux i386 version and now i'm testing vw on Linux FC5 on intel processor. Thanks.
Hello,
The easiest thing to do this is to: (1) create a package in VisualWorks (in the system browser). (2) select that package in the browser, and right click on it. In the context sensitive menu there is an option somewhere to 'file in' (was phrased differently in different versions of VW). This will file in the file in this package.
But...
Note that you will probably have to tackle these two problems, unless you really took care: - the Squeak protocol for adding methods is different, since timestamps etc. were added. You need to add similar methods to the VW classes.This is not hard (just omit the extra arguments Squeak uses since they are not used in VW anyway) - some superclasses of your classes might not exist - underscore problems
