Yeah, so you can make it a weather radio station... Stef |

VMMaker tool allow selection of context or stack interpreter (stack is not yet functional, requires struct code generation). Add some FilePlugin updates from oscog, excluding those with platforms code dependencies (primitiveDirectoryEntry, primitiveDirectoryDelimitor). Retire some old primitives in Interpreter class>>initializePrimitiveTable to align with oscog. I confirmed that the prior version does still run my older images from 10 or 15 years ago. For the record, that version of the code can be checked out and compiled with: $ svn co -3749 http://squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/trunk/platforms $ svn co -r3749 http://squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/trunk/src $ mkdir build; cd build $ cp ../platforms/unix/cmake/Makefile.example Makefile $ make $ sudo make install I'm trying to think of a suitable way to initialize the primitive table at runtime, such that a wider range of images can be supported. But I guess that discussion belongs on vm-dev. Dave |
Is there a specific oldest image which
current VMs are expected to run? On 12/21/16 11:38 AM, David T. Lewis

Is the current interpreter VM (for the mac)
one of the ones on http://www.squeakvm.org/mac/? I'm not clear
how to parse the names of things into what they can or cannot
do. On 12/21/16 5:56 PM, David T. Lewis

I am referring specifically to an interpreter VM that you might build from the
latest updated sources according to this recipe: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6354 That is not very helpful if you are on a Mac, sorry for that. I think that it may work on Mac if you have the X11 support installed, but I am not in a position to verify it. The squeakvm.org site is getting out of date, although Ian Piumarta said in private email that he would welcome constructive input to bring it up to date, and possibly to update the interpreter VM builds if there is some general interest in doing so.

The link in http://www.squeakvm.org/mac/:
Squeak 4.2.5beta1Uis for the last original Mac interpreter, this can only open the old images (no closures), there is a 4.2.5b2 version in: http://squeakvm.org/~lewis/MacOS-test-Javier/

Thanks Javier,
We need to get the squeakvm.org/mac/ page updated to fix the dead links, delete the incorrect "lastest builds" references, and to point to your 4.2.5b2 package as the most up to date version for the Carbon VMs. Dave On Wed, Dec 21, 2016 at 06:58:07PM -0500, Javier Diaz-Reinoso wrote: > The link in http://www.squeakvm.org/mac/ <http://www.squeakvm.org/mac/>: > > Squeak 4.2.5beta1U <http://www.squeakvm.org/mac/release/Squeak%204.2.5beta1U.zip>is for the last original Mac interpreter, this can only open the old images (no closures), there is a 4.2.5b2 version in: > > > http://squeakvm.org/~lewis/MacOS-test-Javier/ <http://squeakvm.org/~lewis/MacOS-test-Javier/> > with I recompiled for David Lewis with the then (Sep/2014) updated VMMaker, this version can open the old images and also the Cog images. > > > On 21 Dec 2016, at 18:17, Bob Arning <[hidden email]> wrote: > > > > Is the current interpreter VM (for the mac) one of the ones on http://www.squeakvm.org/mac/ <http://www.squeakvm.org/mac/>?

There is a thread about MQTT in the "Pharo World" that you might find interesting
http://forum.world.st/MQTT-for-Pharo-tt4927759.html and here is a link to the project http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~SvenVanCaekenberghe/MQTT/ Cheers Kiril |
Yes, thanks Kiril. Frank Shearer mentioned it to me yesterday as well and I’ve taken a look. It’s a decent start but there is quite a bit still to work out. I prefer my hierarchy for the different types of packet as well, but that’s simply personal taste.

I did a ton of work to Diego Gomez Deck's PlotMorph, which runs in trunk. You should use Magma for any Squeak data project. Its by far the safest way to keep your objects. |
