Hi All,
I'm running squeak headless on a Raspberry Pi with -vm-display-null. Normally there is no monitor connected. Sometimes for testing I can connect a monitor. How can/should I write some text to the monitor so I can see what is going on? Thanks in advance for any and all help.
Other than doing magic to open a display window etc - which ought to be possible but I’ve never looked at it - the simplest thing is to use the stdio stream. As in
FileStream stdio nextPutAll: ‘Hello, World’; flush.
Your words of deathless prose should appear in whatever place stdout would appear, typically the terminal window from which you fired up Squeak. I have to admit I have no idea where that might be if you started Squeak from some login or startup script. Maybe it would require some added > mylogfile magic?
