Trying to install Pharo Non Core Packages from online instructions.

Hi,

I'm trying to set up Pharo Non Core Packages from the online instructions I found while reading this: http://book.pharo-project.org/book/PharoTools/Pharo-Non-Core-Packages/?_s=EsEMhY54b-mcYFMW&_k=3zFruWTkOJUr_OF8&_n&50

Unfortunately I get an error, as the attached image shows:

What I have done, is selected all of the code and "done it", I've also tried selecting only the Gopher part and do that first, then do the second part, but it's at the second part that it crashes.

Any tips?

Many thanks,

Victor Stan

If you open a Repository browser on
squeaksource.com/MetacelloRepository, and look at the latest
ConfigurationOfPharoNonCore, the date is 10 June 2011.

What image version are you using? It's a good idea to use an image of
similar vintage, if you're trying to follow online doc's, because things
are constantly changing. Unfortunately, the configuration and versioning
tools are evolving as we go, so things are not as stable as it should be.

You are probably expecting the #load message to be sent to the result of
#version:, but what actually happens is #load is sent to the string
'1.1.1' and strings do not understand #load.

A unary message (#load) is evaluated before a binary message (+) is
evaluated before keyword message (#version:) .

Hello,

This is a package for some very old version of Pharo, it makes no sense in current versions as the code it loads

does not work in current versions of Pharo.

Someone should update the editable book.

Re: Trying to install Pharo Non Core Packages from online instructions.

Maybe I missed it but perhaps a suggestion might be to have the writer or editor mark the version they used when writing the notes, just for reference. If I figure out how to run it I can leave a comment.

Thanks, I have changed it to be:

((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfPharoNonCore) project version: '1.1.1') load.

Which allows me to move on from that point, but I get stuck on another issue now...

Haven't had much change to look into beyond this point.

Re: Trying to install Pharo Non Core Packages from online instructions.

So it seems that "Preferences" is a class in the Compatibility package/collection, and it has no methods at all...

I guess this is a dead end for this package?

I'n learning along, I appreciate your patience :)

Hi, as I already said: This is code for a very old version of Pharo that will just *not* work in a current version.

"ConfigurationOfPharoNonCore" is not maintained for quite a while, it's all old versions that are loaded.

Why do you want to load it?

Re: Trying to install Pharo Non Core Packages from online instructions.

Wanted to play around with audio api.
Is there a way to get a description of what each package does in the configuration browser? I just see the name, which I have to Google to figure out what it does.
