[squeak-dev] Mac carbon Hydra VM

johnmci
I've posted a basic Hydra VM to the usual place

http://smalltalkconsulting.com/squeak.html

via ftp or the idisk, look in the

experimental/Hydra

Someone will need to point out where to find a Hydra based image.
It will not work on the PowerPC, maybe later this year?

It does not contain any of the usual bundled plugins:

CroquetPlugin.bundle
FloatMathPlugin.bundle
FT2Plugin.bundle
LocalePlugin.bundle
mpeg3Plugin.bundle
PrintJobPlugin.bundle
QuicktimePlugin.bundle
ServicesPlugin.bundle
SpellingPlugin.bundle
SqueakFFIPrims.bundle
TestOSAPlugin.bundle
UnixOSProcessPlugin.bundle

Since none of those have been cross checked for issues with a Hydra  
VM. However thoughts are that they should just work.

It's possible that the network primitives do not work, there was  
problem getting the socket plugin to compile in the first place.  
Perhaps the code changes
to fix it resulted in a broken plugin.  Maybe Igor can confirm if the  
network works on the WIndows platform.

Er, I recall some bug/feature of the squeak bitblt/render that won't  
let you have a window > 4096 or pixels?   Maybe someone can refresh  
our collective memory?

Socket plugin (both language side and windows platform code) was fully
objectified to work with new VM.
I was able to run a in-image web browser, as well as some
client-server tests passing bytes from one image to another via
sockets.
Everything works fine, no crashes :)
