Re: [squeak-dev] how to pass default startup parameters to VM?

Hi Chris,

damn, I thought I'd fixed this. Linux right? I see

r2275 | eliot | 2010-09-04 08:52:10 -0700 (Sat, 04 Sep 2010) | 3 lines

Fix filename character encoding for Mac OS X (in Info.plist; use UTF-8).

Update minimal VMMaker image to latest trunk.

But that's only Mac. I should fix this for the Spur VM on linux.

Or, if you simply pass the -textenc utf8 paramter to the VM, all
C&P'ing seems to work just fine.

But I never remember to do it, plus its more to type every time I
start a VM. So I wnat to put it into the actual bash script.

I thought I could just sneak it into the last line in that file:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PLUGINS:$SVMLLP:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" exec "$BIN/squeak" "$@"

changing it to:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PLUGINS:$SVMLLP:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" exec
"$BIN/squeak -textenc utf8" "$@"

but that isn't right. Any suggestions? Thx.

best,

Try replacing the line with this two:

arguments="-textenc utf8 $@"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PLUGINS:$SVMLLP:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" exec "$BIN/squeak" $arguments

I don't know why, but it works! My only wild guess is that exec only
wants two "arguments", the binary and the arguments to that binary..?
Clearly I do not know much about bash.

Many thanks.

Hi Chris,

check out the new r3254 VMs. These should provide utf-8 by default. And yes, the issue was that the quotes turned everything into a single argument. exec "$BIN/squeak" -textenc utf8 "$@" would have worked also.
