Problem with SqueakSVN
by Daniel Zepeda 14 Nov '08

14 Nov '08

Hello, I'm trying to use the SqueakSVN plugin. When I try to install the SAR, it tells me: "Everything was installed correctly, but the SqueakSVN VMPlugin could not be loaded" I am attempting to do this on Mac OS X Tiger (10.4), using the latest Squeak VM/Image from the Squeak download site. Any help on debugging this issue? Thanks! DZ

[Bug] [Fix] Wish to have more fun looking at animated gifs from the web? I have found a serious problem that was munging certain animations. The report and a preliminary patch are at the mantis report: http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7210 7210: [Bug] Gif anim reader has problem reading certain animes. The bug goes back to the early days. It shows up mostly with animate gifs. That is probaly why it wasn't noticed. Hth, Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace

Latest Linux Ditro on ftp.squeak.org - minimal plugins provided. Why?
by Brad Fuller 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

Why does the latest Squeak for Linux: http://ftp.squeak.org/3.10/unix-linux/Squeak-3.10-1.i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz contain minimal plugins? The only plugins included are: PseudoTTYPlugin Squeak3D UnixOSProcessPlugin VideoForLinuxPlugin vm-display-fbdev vm-display-null vm-display-X11 vm-sound-null XDisplayControlPlugin Important plugins like Alsa are missing. Sound should at least me there, in my biased opinion. When I compile the source, I get the following plugins installed (which don't work yet, since I'm still trying to figure out 64bit): AioPlugin B3DAcceleratorPlugin ClipboardExtendedPlugin DBusPlugin FileCopyPlugin GStreamerPlugin ImmX11Plugin KedamaPlugin KedamaPlugin2 MIDIPlugin PseudoTTYPlugin RomePlugin Squeak3D UnixOSProcessPlugin UUIDPlugin VideoForLinuxPlugin vm-display-fbdev vm-display-null vm-display-X11 vm-sound-ALSA vm-sound-null vm-sound-OSS XDisplayControlPlugin Is there a location that supplies the binary plugins for x86? Are plugins not provided because of a general belief that the VM should be distributed per distro? Or why? It would be nice if people coming to the squeak site could obtain a full Linux version when they select the Linux download and not hunt around for a Squeak that isn't complete. (like, NO sound.) -- Brad Fuller

ANN Rio now supports ftp
by Keith Hodges 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

*News:* Rio has finally made it to (roughly) where it was planned to be all along. File manipulations that work locally should now also work remotely. e.g. dir := 'ftp://squeak:viewpoints@squeak.warwick.st/test/test/test' asRio mkpath. file := dir / 'hello.txt' contents: 'hello world'. next := file rename nextVersion. next name. { hello.1.txt } next fileSize. {11} next copyTo: 'local.txt' *Limitations:* Although you can obtain read or writeStreams directly into the remote file, it is not random access (yet?) therefore you cant currently write directly to the write stream of a remote gzip file (which you can do locally) *More Info:* http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/5929 cheers Keith

Best way to debug Windows plugin issues
by Steven W Riggins 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

Hi! I'm trying to release Sophie 1.0.4 but have run into a fun issue on Windows. I am using Danil's CurlPlugin which works fine until I install QuickTime for Windows 7.5.5. As soon as I do that, the plugin fails to load. I am not sure why. John says printLastError is called, but I don't know how to get the results of that in Windows (ie the windows equivalent of a console log on OS X) I don't have any compilers on windows, so I would not even know where to begin to try and build the plugin. The plugin ships with the following DLLs in the zip file: libeay32.dll libssl32.dll libcurl-3.dll CurlPlugin.dll Any tips from you windows using pros out there? thank you! Steve

Socket - reading UDP only from a specified interface
by Chris Muller 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Hi all! Does anyone know how #receiveUDPDataInto: decides which network interface to read from? I want to read UDP data only from a particular interface, the only reference to this subject I could find: http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2003-September/06591… seems to indicate to send #primSocket:connectTo:port: to the reading socket as a unorthodox way to force-set a particular interface..? Will this work or is there a better way? Thanks, Chris

[seaBreeze-mailinglist] Porting to Squeak
by Emilio Oca 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Hi Magnus, I am interested on this issue but as I have no previous experience on porting something that should be maintained at both ends, and I am pretty ignorant on web issues; I just started to use it on VW for a while. But I'll be glad to help. The "ifNotNil: [:p | p doSomething] should have no parameters" is a known issue, discussed several times on the squeak list, let me search a bit. I think that SmaCC works ok on squeak. It shouldn't be any problem using the Squeak Smacc port. The underscore char is used instead of := , so is an illegal char at the beginning of a method. But I think there is a configurable preference on this. I am cross posting to the squeak list, may be more help is available there. Looking the way the seaside packages are maintained for inter-dialect portability may be a good idea. Cheers.

Squeak Carbon OS-X VM 3.8.19beta2U ships
by John M McIntosh 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Ken Brown was lucky enough to figure out that the 3.8.19beta1U VM won't launch on a 4GB Mac Pro when you have 27 other applications running. The 3.8.19beta2U VM has a fix to work around mmap issues when the operating system would rather load you at the 42GB boundary, versus our suggested 512MB. I've posted the new VM in the usual places via ftp or my idisk at http://www.smalltalkconsulting.com/squeak.html -- = = = ======================================================================== John M.
