OS(Sub)Process on Raspberry Pi ?

Hi,

What is the state of OS(Sub)Process on Raspberry Pi ?

I want a Pharo application to be able to execute some (simple, no IO) OS commands on Raspbian. Can that be done ? Does it work for Pharo 4, 5 ? What should I load ?

Thx,

Sven

Hi Sven,

Since OSSubprocess uses the latest FFI, it works only in Pharo 5.0 AND Spur (and after certain Pharo 5.0 release). So you should grab latest Spur-based Pharo 5.0 for OSSubprocess.

Since Raspbian is based on Debian, I guess it should work (OSSubprocess uses libc), but I cannot tell as I don't have a Raspberry Pi here.

If you get a Spur based Pharo 5.0 image and VM working in Raspberry Pi I can help you to see if it works.

Let me know,

Re: OS(Sub)Process on Raspberry Pi ?

The latest FFI uses the old VM FFI which works on x86 and ARM and a new front-end which is seemingly x86 dependent.

So OSSubProcess will work if you use FFI, but the old syntax not the new one.
