No webserver started when starting spoon
by Norbert Hartl 19 Nov '07

Hi, finally I tried the latest spoon release. I took the start instructions from the README.html. Starting the memory.image I get an empty window but there is no socket opened on 8090. so I couldn't connect with the browser. My system is ubuntu linux 7.04 (feisty). Norbert

Compiling Flow.so under linux
by Matthew Fulmer 14 Sep '07

14 Sep '07

I have been unable to deduce the steps required to build Flow.so under linux. There are guides [1] [2], but ran into problems following each one, such as configure barfing on an empty build directory, where to put the source, whether VMMaker is needed, and whether generated or raw source is required to build Flow.so. So, here is what I am doing. It does not work: 1. Download the 3.9-8 VM source code: http://squeakvm.org/unix/release/Squeak-3.9-8.src.tar.gz 2. Unzip it to /home/tapple/squeak/vm 3. Download the 2a5 Flow source code: http://netjam.org/flow2a5.tar.gz 4. Unzip it to /home/tapple/squeak/vm/platforms/Cross/plugins/FlowPlugin 5. Download and run squeak-dev: http://damien.cassou.free.fr/squeak-dev/sq3.9-7067dev07.08.1.zip 6. Install VMMaker-3.8b6.1 from Universes (Category: System) 7. Load "spoonProcessor Changes.st" from the components directory of http://www.movedigital.com/go/netjam/63004/spoon.2a12.linux.zip 8. Open VMMaker Tool and configure: 8.1. Interpreter Class Name: Interpreter 8.2. Path to Platform Code: /home/tapple/squeak/vm/platforms 8.3. Platform Name: unix 8.4. Path to Generated Sources: /home/tapple/squeak/vm/src 8.5. Internal Plugins: None 8.6. External Plugins: Flow 9. Generate Entire. This generates, among other things, a single file containing the generated Flow source: /home/tapple/squeak/vm/src/plugins/Flow/Flow.c 10. In shell: 10.1. cd /home/tapple/squeak/vm/src 10.2. ../platforms/unix/config/configure 10.3. make 11. Lots of undefined refs to halt in gnu-interp.c 12. Try just compiling plugins: make plugins 13. Lots of syntax errors in the generated Flow.c file I have a feeling that the generated Flow.c file is the problem, since the source is distributed as a set of files, but only one is generated [1]: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/2105 [2]: http://squeakvm.org/unix/devel.html -- Matthew Fulmer -- http://mtfulmer.wordpress.com/ Help improve Squeak Documentation: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/808

linking the pthreads library for Flow
by Craig Latta 14 Sep '07

Hi Tony-- It's great that you were able to build a working Flow plugin for yourself, but I'd like to be able to distribute pre-built Flow plugins so that building it is optional. :) The one I included in the 2a12 release apparently loads the pthreads library dynamically, and differences in the location of the pthreads library amongs different Linux distributions was causing trouble. Were you able to build the Flow plugin so that the pthreads library is statically linked into it? How should I change my build tree to make this happen? My current Unix build tree (the entire VM, including the Flow plugin) is at [1]. thanks again! -C [1] http://tinyurl.com/2lqfxu (movedigital.com) -- Craig Latta improvisational musical informaticist www.netjam.org Smalltalkers do: [:it | All with: Class, (And love: it)]

Porting spoon's VM support
by Tony Garnock-Jones 04 Sep '07

04 Sep '07

Hi all, I've just finished getting Squeak running on the Neo1973 [1], an OpenMoko [2] open-source GSM cellphone. So far, I have the stock VM able to run stock images. In order to develop for the phone, I'd like to try out a spoonish approach, so I thought I'd try to get spoon running. I'm having trouble in two areas: cross-compiling an appropriate Flow plugin (I need the latest primitive sources) and building an appropriate VM. Could someone confirm for me that I will *not* be able to use a stock Unix Squeak VM, say 3.9-8, with Spoon and an appropriate Flow plugin? That is, are there mandatory changes to the core VM that need to be applied? Thank you, Tony [1] http://www.openmoko.com/products-index.html [2] http://www.openmoko.org/
