[ANN] Alien on Pharo 1.2
Locked
 
|
Hi all,
I just committed new versions of Alien on squeaksource to make it run on 1.2 I also modified the ConfigurationOfAlien to easily load it: (ConfigurationOfAlien project version: 'Pharo 1.1') load
(ConfigurationOfAlien project version: 'Pharo 1.2') load (ConfigurationOfAlien project version: 'Pharo 1.1') load: {'All'. 'MacOSX'} (ConfigurationOfAlien project version: 'Pharo 1.2') load: {'All'. 'MacOSX'} #Luc |

That sounds really nice.
Just a question: Is Alien only working on Mac?

2011/1/30 Tudor Girba <[hidden email]> That sounds really nice. It just requires the I32ABI VM plugin which is included in the Cog VM as Eliot told me. So it should work on linux+cog but I didn't test it recently.
Not sure this plugin is included in the regular unix VM. #Luc

Hi Luc, which is the latest ConfigurationOfAlien we should use?
The one in MetacelloRepo or the one in Alien? In the case its the Alien repo, should we save in the MetacelloRepo also? To avoid confusion.

Hi Fernando and others,
Just a point, I am not the Alien maintener but since I use it a lot, I patched it this week and commit ted all in the Alien repo. So you are right, it could be useful to copy the latest ConfigurationOfAlien in the Metacello repo.

I just did it. Now ConfigurationOfAlien.32 is in the "Metacello Repository" on squeaksource. Thanks Fernando for reminding me this step. #Luc 2011/1/31 Luc Fabresse <[hidden email]> Hi Fernando and others, |

My feeling is that nobody really maintain or improve it. Am I wrong? anybody there?
or there is very low activity. So, I would say no. And I still hope for a better (threading, callbacks, ...) and more portable FFI library. Eliot spoke about that a while ago.

Hi Esteban,
I just understand your point now. I was using the VM 4.2.5 so Alien works pretty well on a 1.2. But on the 5.7.4 VM, Alien is totally broken. Even if I am not an expert in plugin code, I can give a try and look at it.
Can you just give me the right way to compile/generate the plugin source? how to get the right WMMaker image? is it a pharo one now? which repository for the sources? gitorious? Thanks for all your work and effort Esteban! #Luc 2011/2/4 Esteban Lorenzano <[hidden email]>

Unfortunately, your new version of Alien-LibC is broken. It only works in Pharo, not in Squeak. Squeak does not include the methods isMacOS/isUnix/isWindows which are now used in LibCLibrary>>libraryName. You should use "Smalltalk os platformName = ..." instead, which is portable between Pharo and Squeak. Does ConfigurationOfAlien work in Squeak 4.1 and 4.2? Regards, Joachim Geidel |

Arg you are probably right! To make it work fast, you can modify the ConfigurationOfAlien to introduce squeak versions and fix it to load the previous version of LibC?
spec for: #squeak do: [ ... ] Soon, I will try to provide an updated cross-plateform version of LibC. #Luc

Hi Serge,
I guess that you use an old version of 1.1.1. It requires the updated version of SmalltalkImage>>recreateSpecialObjectsArray (array size of 55). For older version (array size of 50 such as Pharo 1.0 or Squeak 4.1 also I guess) you should load Alien-Core-LucFabresse.66 and not the latest core Alien-Core-IgorStasenko.68.
Steps for a running Alien in 1.1.1 (resp 1.2) with MacVM 4.2.5b1: 1) download a fresh 1.1.1 (Latest update: #11418) 2) Load: ConfigurationOfAlien-LucFabresse.34
3) (ConfigurationOfAlien project version: 'Pharo 1.1') load: {'All'. 'MacOSX'} 4) 40 run, 40 passes, 0 expected failures, 0 failures, 0 errors, 0 unexpected passes be happy ;-) #Luc
