[ANN][Squeak-dev Images] Revival
by Damien Cassou 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

Hi all, last week, I published 2 polls (http://www.doodle.ch/5u67s53greapfdu6 and http://www.doodle.ch/9y9r6nr2imci8g38) to help me know what you want for the squeak-dev images. From these polls, I can conclude that: - you are becoming more and more interested in 3.10 - you believe some beta tools are stable enough to include in all images (Nice fonts, UI Enhancements and SUnitGUI-improved). However, I do not understand why so much people continue to download 3.9 based images. Maybe because there is the word 'beta' associated with 3.10 based images on my webpage. Here is my propositions for the future squeak-dev versions: - include Nice fonts, UI Enhancements and SUnitGUI-improved in all images - only base one image on top of 3.9 and update it less often. I still haven't decided if this image will contain the web stuffs or not. Any opinion? - create 2 stable dev- and web- images based on 3.10 - create a beta 3.10 based dev-image. I plan to use Level Playing Field and Packages to generate this image. I will also put Algernon, the new Diff tools and other beta pakages in it. Could you please give me your opinion on these choices? Do I have to create another poll for something? Thank you -- Damien Cassou Peter von der Ahé: «I'm beginning to see why Gilad wished us good luck». (http://blogs.sun.com/ahe/entry/override_snafu)

squeak plugin in ff 2/3
by Ties Stuij 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

Hey, I'm trying to get Epaati to work in the browser, on the XO eventually, and I'm running into two problems: - In ff3 beta 5 on Linux (Ubuntu 8.04) I can't seem to get ff to recognise the squeak plugin. Has anybody got experience with ff3 and the plugin, good or bad? My setup mirrors the requirements for a ff2 plugin configuration. When running npsqueakrun squeak will launch a session. I tested both the npsqueak.so from a pretty new sugar-jbuild as well as a version which works with ff2 (I know there were problems with the standard squeak plugin from squeakland not registering with ff properly (which last time I checked (about 3 weeks/a month ago) still was the plugin available for download. Should perhaps be updated?)). - In ff2 I can load our activities from a server, but only if the .pr file isn't to big. If it is of moderate size or more, I'm getting space-low warnings followed by a crash on project load. Would anybody happen to know why this is happening? Is there perhaps some memory variable that's easily adjustable? Thanks, /Ties

Re: [squeak-dev] Continuous integration (was: All tests running green)
by laurent laffont 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

Hi, I've started to work on a ContinuousIntegration package to periodically generate test reports for images provided by Damien Cassou (and more ?). You can find more info here: http://www.squeaksource.com/ContIntegration.html To run all tests and generate a xml report per test case, type CITestRunner runAllTests. I've also made a bash script (squeakci) to run all the tests. It could later be run in a cron job for example: http://adhocmusic.org/squeak/squeakci Here is a (basic) first report: http://adhocmusic.org/squeak/squeak_test_report.html It is not complete, as I have encountered some problems: 1. some code run by the tests have syntax errors. (for example: ChildrenToSiblingsTest>>#testModelChildrenToSibling). On a syntax error squeak open the debugger and the test run stop. To run all the tests, I prefer that errors like SyntaxError generates only a test error (only for continuous integration). So I've written an ugly hacky workaround in SyntaxError>>open open: aSyntaxError "Answer a standard system view whose model is an instance of me." | topView | <primitive: 19> "Simulation guard" shouldOpenDebuggerOnError ifFalse: [ ^ false ]. Smalltalk isMorphic ifTrue: .... so before running CITestRunner, I write "SyntaxErrror openDebuggerOnError: false" to disable the openning of the debugger. I think there must be a better way to do this, but as I'm a totally SmallTalk newbie ... idea ? 2. Some tests require user interaction with popups, ... I want these tests to generate an error when trying to open such dialogs, as unit tests should never require user interaction. How can I do this ? 3. PushUpMethodTest freezes squeak Laurent Laffont

Squeak as DLL
by askoh 27 Jul '08

27 Jul '08

I want to create an addon using Squeak for a Computer Aided Design (CAD) software in Windows. That means that the CAD will control Squeak and communicate back and forth. In other languages, the addon would be a DLL called by the CAD. Can Squeak become such a DLL? How can it be done? Are there examples? Any other ideas would be appreciated too. Thanks in advance. All the best, Aik-Siong Koh -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Squeak-as-DLL-tp18655393p18655393.html Sent from the Squeak - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Namespaces, Packages: Image available for download, screencast.
by Michael van der Gulik 27 Jul '08

27 Jul '08

Hi all. For anybody that's interested, I've uploaded a premade Namespaced image at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/securesqueak/ Caveat emptor; there are bugs, but it does work. To prove it works, I've managed to make a screencast under Linux in beautiful high resolution, which Google video managed to munge into a pixellated mess: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=771491032612949488&hl=en (Excuse my heavy breathing.) A note for others: I made this screencast using a program under Ubuntu Linux called "recordmydesktop". It works pretty well! Google video also managed to read the .ogg file fine without conversion. I recorded this at 480p (i.e. 720x480, which for reasons unexplained IceWM decided was actually 180x480). Next time I might keep the same resolution, but use larger fonts. Gulik. -- Michael van der Gulik <mikevdg(a)gmail.com>

playing MPEG files
by John Richards 26 Jul '08

26 Jul '08

Every technique I have tried for playing an MPEG movie file on the Mac OS (specifically an MPEG1 Muxed movie file) fails on load (it just goes into an endless spinning hourglass). This is true on both 3.9 and 3.10 and have not tested it on earlier versions. Anyone have any thoughts on this? For what it's worth, the file tests as a valid MPEG file when I do MPEGFile isFileValidMPEG: Thanks, John
