First, I'm on Windows XP.

I went to http://www.squeaksource.com/SqueakDBX. and downloaded OpenDBX-Core-MarianoMartinezPeck.252.mcz and loaded it. When installing OpenDBX-Core-MarianoMartinezPeck.252.mcz I never saw any hiccups about FFI so I assumed the Croquet image has the necessary FFI classes.

You cannot only install that package. There are several packages to install them.

In our website you can find almost all information: http://www.squeakdbx.org/

In this case, you should read: http://www.squeakdbx.org/Installation

But...it is something like this:

Installer ss project: ’SqueakDBX’; install: ’SqueakDBXPharoLoader’. (or you can download it manually using monticello browser)

And then evaluate:

SqueakDBXPharoLoader loadSqueakDBX Instead of using our own loaders you can also use the Metacello configuration. You have to download the package ConfigurationOfSqueakDBX from the repository MetacelloRepository in SqueakSource and then evaluate:

(ConfigurationOfSqueakDBX project version: '1.0') load.

I then followed the link to http://www.linuxnetworks.de/doc/index.php/OpenDBX/Setup/Windows and downloaded the opendbx-1.4.4_win32.zip binaries. This contains 2 dll's and a folder will more dll's. I extracted the 2 top level dll's into my bin-directory containing Croquet.exe.

I suggest you to read:

- http://www.squeakdbx.org/Compiling%20and%20installing%20OpenDBX - http://www.squeakdbx.org/Compiling%20for%20different%20backends

In http://www.squeakdbx.org/documentation you have a lot of info.

After modifying MysqlTinyBenchmarks>>initializeConnection with the appropriate info (password, database, host, etc.) I tried executing: "MysqlTinyBenchmarks new benchmarkInsert". This died in DBXPlatform >> createConnection: referencing OpenDBX. When I went back and looked at the Transcript window messages (about loading OpenDBX-Core-MarianoMartinezPeck.252.mcz) I noticed "OpenDBX is Undeclared" in multiple places. I assumed this is a reference to a class that wasn't included in OpenDBX-Core-MarianoMartinezPeck.252.mcz package?

Yes, the loader should fix this.

I wish there were a simple list of instructions to accomplish this? (Or, maybe I'm not seeing the obvious?)

Almost all information is in the website. Just ask if you have further questions. We have our own mailing list also (I have cc'ed it)

A little note: I have ever tested SqueakDBX on Croquet, so, I don't know if it works or not. I guess...but not tested (at least for our team).

Cheers!
