Hi. On an Intel Mac running Mac OS X 10.6.8, I followed the instructions to install a NativeBoost VM found here: http://code.google.com/p/nativeboost/wiki/Installation. I downloaded the latest Mac NBCog VM, ??and ran into an error after evaluating NBInstaller install.
I'm using the 4.3alpha-11636.image file. The 4.2 image gives a different set of errors but also wont install:
The progress bar window says: Compiling NativeBoost-Core-IgorStasenko.36
The window title is "Syntax error" with a split text field. The top field contains: nbExternalStructure Fields parsing spec parseFields:byte
The bottom field has a red error message embedded in this line:
?? ?? ?? ??stream peek == #Invalid literal character ->; ifTrue: [ stream next ]. ?? ??].
Help?
I didn't tested an installation in squeak 4.2 images. It looks like there is a change in parser which don't likes the following syntax:
#( a; b ; c)
imo, this is correct syntax. a ';' should be converted to #; symbol.
Squeak 3.6: #( a; b ; c) ==> #(#a #; #b #; #c)
Squeak 3.8: #( a; b ; c) ==> #(#a #; #b #; #c)
Squeak trunk: #( a; b ; c) ==> #(#a #';' #b #';' #c)
PharoCore-1.3-13173: #( a; b ; c) ==> #(#a #';' #b #';' #c)

ok, then problem is in something else. Lawson, could you please paste the full method source with problematic code?
#; inspect -> Syntax error though...
ps. stream peek == #;
sure it's not a typo and should be stream peek == $; ?
yes its not a typo. Since it is a stream from given array:
#( a ; b ; c ; ) readStream
stream peek at some moment could answer #; symbol.
perhaps i should write it like #';' ? but why it considered invalid?
Cheers, Henry
