memory and VM issues
by Sachin Desai 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

I've downloaded the current SVN sources and VMMaker (3.8b3) from SqueakMap and am unable to the build a working VM. This may be the result of changes going into the source tree and me taking a snapshot that just doesn't build. Anyhow, these are the problems I'm facing and in the past I've been able to successfully build a working VM. I'm building a Carbon VM on Mac OS X 10.4.2 using XCode, I'm able to compile and link but get a runtime error for "getThisSessionID" as an undefined symbol. When I try to build a unix VM, I get the following undefined symbols: _dispatchFunctionPointer _dispatchFunctionPointerOnin _fetchLong32ofObject _getThisSessionID _obsoleteDontUseThisFetchWordofObject I also had to manually tweak the code in order to get it to compile by adding the following to Cross/vm/sq.h typedef int (*fptr) (void); I'm not able to get an interp.h generated at all. I have to manually create it to get away from the warnings. At first I thought there was a problem with my image but I downloaded a fresh 3.8 image, added Balloon and VMMaker and tried to build. Same errors. If anyone can shed some light on how I can proceed, it's greatly appreciated otherwise I'm quite happy to wait for a stable snapshot of the source tree. -- Sachin.

[Community] How about some squeak folklore?
by Peace Jerome 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Folklore.org is a web site devoted to collective historical storytelling. It captures and presents sets of related stories that describe interesting events from multiple perspectives, allowing groups of people to recount their shared history in the form of interlinked anecdotes. The site has been developed by some of the early apple folks and the site is itself has just apple stories on it. I found it after reading "Revolution in the Valley" by Andy Hertzfeld which collects stories from the site. Those interested taking a look a good place to start is http://www.folklore.org/about.html . I run in to dribs and drabs of squeaklore here all the time and something like this site for squeak would be welcome. Maybe there's a folklorist out there who'd be willing to start. The sites text is available under a creative commons license. And I suspect the software is similarly available. My wish is that someone here (or almost here as most of us folk are coding types and this looks more like a job for a folklorist) would find a way to get access to the software already created and start a site around squeak. That would be the best start. Assuming the already existing software is adaptable and available, the focus would then be on content. And the content would then build the larger squeak community. Yours in service, --Jerome Peace ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs

Port of AbstractSound framework to VW
by Shaping 24 Jul '05

24 Jul '05

Hi everyone. I'm porting John Maloney's Abstract framework to VW 7.3. John, are you here? I have some questions about how to do this. There are some Squeak primitives involved, and I'm wondering whether these must be implemented in VW first using the userprim stuff in the VW bin\win\userprim directory. I could use some perspective and guidance on what is required here. I need only clean digital audio. STP says that the DA in Siren works but pops because callbacks are not quite fast enough. Does anyone know whether the AbstractSound framework has solved this problem? Briefly, I need to produce pop-free, 44.1 KHz, 16-bit amplitude sounds by creating waves in real-time. The intent is to build an array in real-time containing the wave, and send this as .wav structure to the sound card, but I don't want to have to create a .wave file. I know that there are some buffer swaps involved, and I'm assuming that the framework takes care of this. Suggestions are welcome. Shaping

pending mac os-x carbon 3.8.8b5
by Sachin Desai 23 Jul '05

23 Jul '05

John, Do you plan on publishing the VMMaker changes soon? I've downloaded the source from Subversion and have not been too successful with building a working VM under XCode on 10.4. I'm been able to successfully compile the code but I get a runtime error with an undefined symbol for "getThisSessionID". Thanks. -- Sachin.

Squelenium: Selenium driver for squeak
by David Shaffer 23 Jul '05

23 Jul '05

My first crack at a Selenium (http://selenium.thoughtworks.com/index.html) driver for Squeak is available. Selenium is an in-browser (javascript) testing framework. A "selenium driver" allows a remote application to drive the javascript allowing integration into existing unit tests. My long term plan is to allow fairly transparent combinations of "SeasideTesting" tests and Selenium tests so one can test live requests and other javascript features). At this point I have a working driver and sample code to test static documents (you'll need to download selenium and put it in ...path-to-squeak/FileRoot/selenium). BTW: Selenium 0.5.0, the most recent, has a bug which makes remote driven apps not work...you'll have to use 0.4.0 until they release 0.6.0 which promises to fix the problem. That cost me an hour or two... I've given Read/Write access to the project on SqueakSource: MCHttpRepository location: 'http://kilana.unibe.ch:8888/Squelenium' user: '' password: '' David

Hi, I'd like to learn more about Balloon 3D. I'm looking for a 3D toolkit for use with smalltalk. Where can I get more information about Balloon? Thanks, Günther

A different sort of 'repointing the sources'
by Tim Rowledge 23 Jul '05

23 Jul '05

I imagine that the HP nonsense will mean losing the SVN srever at hplabs. So where shall we move the repository to this time? Do we have those servers in Germany(?) or wherever available yet? How about setting up a data haven on the Moon or somewhere ;-) tim -- Tim Rowledge, tim(a)rowledge.org, http://www.rowledge.org/tim A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.
