Squeak for the Asus eee

mike.vidal
Does anyone know where there is a version of Squeak that will install
on the Asus eee?  I tried the debian and generic linux version and
they dont install/work.  The debian version wong apt-install.  It
complains about missing binfmt-support dependency.  The linux version
segfaults.

Hi,

You can try with the Seaside one click experience, is the best way to
get Squeak images running without worrying about dependencies or
platforms or packages systems.

  * Go here

  http://www.seaside.st/download/squeak#167943699

  and download the "Seaside One-Click Experience"  experience.

  * Uncompress it in any place you want, say "/home/Shared/Programs/"

  * Execute "Seaside.sh" inside the "Seaside-2.8-530.app/" folder. You
will see a Squeak Seaside Image running and ready to use.

But may be you don't want to run this image only. Let's say that you're
trying to run Etoys image. In that case you:

  * Download the image and change file for Etoys, lets say that you have
downloaded the  etoys.image and etoys.changes files.

  * Copy the image and changes files to to the
"Seaside-2.8-530.app/Contents/Resources/" folder.

  * Copy and rename the "Seaside.sh" as "etoys.sh".

  * Edit "etoys.sh", which at this moment is equal to Seaside.sh and
make  changes, so it looks this way:

#!/bin/sh
APP=`dirname $0`
EXE="$APP/Contents/Linux686"
RES="$APP/Contents/Resources"

exec "$EXE/squeak" -plugins "$EXE" \
         -encoding latin1 \
         -vm-display-X11 -swapbtn  \
         "$RES/etoys.image"



  Notice the "$RES/etoys.image" last line.

At that is. If you want any other image for any other Squeak related
project, like Scratch or Opencroquet the procedure is the same, and you
could get similar results for Windows changing the Squeak.ini file.

We have detailed Spanish instructions about installing Squeak in
different ways, including this one on:

http://www.el-directorio.org/Squeak/Instalacion

Hope that helps and by the way, what a nice machine to play with that
Asus Eeepc.

Cheers,

Offray

Could you make these instructions more beginner friendly please?

I don't know what "executing" an "image" means - all I know is, opening the .sh file brings up a couple of blocks of coding in a text file. Looks like this:-

#!/bin/sh
APP=`dirname $0`
EXE="$APP/Contents/Linux686"
RES="$APP/Contents/Resources"

exec "$EXE/squeak" -plugins "$EXE" \
        -encoding latin1 \
        -vm-display-X11 -swapbtn  \
        "$RES/seaside.image"

Is this the "image"?

If so what do I do with it?

Not a linux expert, just someone used to Windows who niavely believed the eee would be easy...

Thanks!

Hi,

Have you tried the translation of:

http://el-directorio.org/Squeak/Instalacion#head-9f31bb7843147795b89ecbe76e961b906a672c12

from Spanish to English (may be using some online free translation
services)? there is detailed documentation and friendly enough. If you
have tried to follow this translation and still don't understand, please
don't hesitate to ask again.

Cheers,

Offray

It's segfaulting because of missing /proc/self/exe -> binfmt module. EEE has stripped kernel :(

readlink("/proc/self/exe",  <unfinished ...>
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
Process 22651 detached

R.

The standard Linux version shouldn't segfault. AFAIK, the Asus EEE (which
I'd like to have one of if anybody feels like donating them :-) ) is a
standard i386 running modified Xandros Linux.

Could you provide more information about how it crashes?

Re: Squeak for the Asus eee

Rezza
I've been Googling for this /proc/self/exe behavior and some observations:
1. not a problem with binfmt - sorry for missleading
2. contains application path
3. after reboot /proc/self/exe is there and squeak vm is working!!!!!!
4. from other posts - it looks like unionfs bug

But still I think - segfault is not a good behavior when this link doesn't exists...
