If we’re talking moving your slang code across then the only likely problems would be some places where slang meta-commands clash - IIRC #ifCpp:type stuff differs a bit.

I tend to agree. What do we need to do to make it so?

Much fun can be obtained for little money. Why, you can now get Flash under Chromium and run Scratch2 directly from MIT’s website. And … it’s…. sl….ow…. with odd dd… jum…ps. Seriously. Flash. <head-desk>

Just so long as the mudguard stays stayed in pace, eh?

I’ve just built a latest vm with the unixosprocess .c file replaced by your one (taken from the old squeakvm.org tree, dated 6th jun, 8:10pm, hope that is the latest?) and loaded the OSProcess head package via squeakmap. I get 80 run, 71 passes, 0 expected failures, 5 failures, 4 errors, 0 unexpected passes. All the problems appear to be related to locking stuff, which is about as far as my ability will take me. Err, mind you 3 failures and 2 errors look like win32 tests, so just maybe they don’t count.

That will have to be "good enough" for now, sorry about that. I also
get failures when running on Ubuntu on a fast machine.  The tests have
timing issues related to cooperating Squeak images that run in the tests,
and the formerly all-green tests are failing now on the faster machines.
I also suspect some differences related to file I/O differences as the
OS runtimes have changed, but I can't say that for sure.

In any case, your plugin is working, and OSProcess and CommandShell should
work fine in normal day-to-day use.

Hi Eliot,

Sorry, but I do not know why the oscog version is crashing on Raspbian.
