And, of course, the OLPC Etoys runs fine on a Mac or Windows OS ...
Cheers,

Ok by using the unix command ll in a terminal session I assume you are a bit familiar with Unix. The issue here is the executable permission is not set on the Squeak VM Opt. It should look like
-rwxr-xr-x 1 johnmci staff 2624364 May 16 11:00 Squeak VM Opt
Lacking the 'x' means it won't execute.
Given the OLPC-Etoys070726.zip and in the Finder if you control-click on it to get the command menu and pick 'Open with' it should say that 'BOMArchiveHelper.app' is the application used to open a ZIP file.
Double clicking on the ZIP file in the macintosh Finder should also run BOMArchiveHelper to unzip the file.
I suspect you used the unzip command line tool to unzip the zip file, in checking this way of unzipping the archive I found it does not restore the execute bit properly.

Hi folks, I am thinking of you all at Squeakfest this week and thought I'd try to install/play with the OLPC-Etoys that was advertised on the Squeakfest site. Downloading that .zip file and unzipping it, I followed the terse README and dragged 'etoys.image' onto 'Squeakland.app', but nothing happened, i.e. Etoys didn't pop up. Still being a somewhat newbie in OSX, could someone offer up some clues?
Previously, I had downloaded etoys from squeakland and that ran fine on my Mac.
Fwiw, I'm running OSX 10.4.10 and have:

It could be the case that I screwed it up and put wrong files in wrong way there. I tried it with my colleague's Mac once but didn't really try afterwards.
BTW, can anybody compile KedamaPlugin2 for Mac?

Thanks much John. Yes, I am an old Unix guy and therefore unzipped it myself. I simply double-clicked on the .zip in the Finder and things work fine now.
unzipping the zip file via a command in a terminal session results
in an non-runable application, so there is nothing wrong with how you made the zip file.
As for the KedamaPlugin2 if you point me to the source code and smalltalk code needed to build it I can do that for you.
I note I did not include the old KedamaPlugin in the newer Squeakland.app we started shipping in May 07 become no-one could tell me if it was needed and where was the source to compile it for MacIntel machines.
But I assume now you have replaced it with KedamaPlugin2 ?

Hi, John,

I would actually like to have both KedamaPlugin and KedamaPlugin2 included in the distributions intended for Squeaklanders. Here are the file outs for them.
Thank you so much!
