WOW!

Tony, do you have a smalltalk API built around the hardware on that platform? For instance the GPS device, etc? So that squeak apps can be built to interface with the hardware?

I'm more of a lurker on this list, but that's a very interesting project. Where do you normally post about your progress?

Cheers, Mike

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

Hi Tony--

That's right, you need to apply "spoonProcessorChanges.st" before generating interp.c, to get remote messaging support. Also, Squeak seems to have trouble on some Linux hosts with loading the released Flow shared library, due to differences in the pthreads shared library location. I'd be happy to help you with this.

thanks,
