squeakPlugins is set from SQUEAK_PLUGINS and overridden by - plugins, while SQUEAK_PLUGIN_PATH is tried after that. I am on svn 1638. Perhaps the code is still in flux?
Ahh, sorry for my confusion. These then should probably be the same thing and support multiple search locations and replace the initial './'.
I am not sure about MAC, but Unix specs require execv() calls to pass pathnames in argv[0].
Please post a ref to the part of the POSIX, SUS, X/Open, or whatever standard you like, specification that says this.
On my Kubuntu system
You have a completely different set of issues, tradeoffs, assumptions and environmental characteristics compared with <insert name of any non GNU/Linux-based Unix here>.
and an annoying dependency on zenity (I use KDE).
That's not the fault of the VM, it's the fault of whoever rebuilt and repackaged it.
I'll combine the plugin stuff and change the plugin search behaviour to be more rational. If your Linux launcher ever ends up needing essential platform VM support changes that do not adversely affect non-Linux Unix platforms, or you find some platform support that can be eliminated for every species of Unix equally, then let me know.
