Pharo 1.4 porting

Trussardi Dario Romano
Ciao,

        i have a old

                Pharo1.4
                Latest update: #14445

        run on MacBook with Mac OS X 10.7.5 ( Lion ).

        In this system the Pharo image run fine.


        I copy the relative folder on a MacBook  with Mac OS X 10.14.6 ( Mojave ).

        Now in this system,

                when i double click on the relative folder icon  the system open a empty black foreground window.

        The System Application don't  report any Pharo application.

  I need to register - install a Pharo application?


        In this last system i also copy  a Pharo GemTools-1.0-beta.8.7-3101 folder.

        It run without problem.

        Any consideration is welcome.

        Thanks,
       
                Dario

Hi Dario

As far as I know there was an issue with the older VM's on Mac OS X where the graphics subsystem changed, causing that blank/black screen.

You will probably be able to use a different VM and make it work. 
I've got some older Pharo 1.2.2 images and either 
  • CogMT.3390.app (Squeak Cog 4.0.3390)
  • or maybe even one of the other mac vm's from around that time will work.

Cheers
Carlo

Excuse my ignorance but I have no experience in this regard.

Where i can download a valid mac vm's ?

And where should i put it ?

The Pharo on my system have a Contents folder,

which inside has:  info.plist
MacOS folder
with: Pharo ( exec )
 Plugins folder 
Resources  folder

Do you need more information?

Thanks,

Dario

Hi Dario


To test it you could 
  • unzip the VM
  • drag your specific image onto the Cog.app and see if it works.
If Mac OSX complains about permissions you may have to right click on the Cog.app and select 'Open', after which it will ask you which image you would like to open. You can then cancel and try to drag your specific pharo image onto the Cog.app and see if it works.

You may then be able to replace the VM in the one-click package with this one if it works.

Cheers
Carlo

This is not clear to me.

What i need to do for this set?
