Re: [Pharo-dev] I want to move the latest vm to stable... I need feedback !

[Torsten Bergmann]

HI Esteban,

can you be more specific what the problem with "OSWindows" is?

 

I guess you refer to my project "OSWindows" which is in Catalog and in http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~OS/
and belongs to my operating system series (OSWindows, OSLinuxUbuntu, OSUnix, OSOSX, OSRaspbian, ...) which

is about wrapping native APIs and providing easier Pharo work on the different platforms.

Each aspect of this project is covered by unit tests and it should be possible to find out what the problem is.

If you remember it was a good testbed to find issues in UFFI.

But maybe you refer to another project. Because there is also an "OSWindow" (without "s") project done later by Ronie
Salgado which is about accessing a platform window from Pharo. This one is at: http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~ronsaldo/OSWindow

Still I wished that Ronie would have choosen a different name as this is now often very confusing
to people to distinguish between "OSWindows" and "OSWindow". "NativeWindow" or something like that
would have been better for what it is all about...

Thanks

Torsten

btw… I’m aware of the OSWindows problems, but that’s not solvable in the short term as is… please do not point to that :)

Hi guys, 

 

I want to move latest vm to stable (for Pharo 6.0, of course). 

 

And I have the idea there are still some blocking issues… can you 

 

I have this issues in mind: 

 

No write right on Windows with the new VM

Freetype2 primitive failed [error 2][unknown file format]  -> for this I’m testing the solution pointed here: http://log.smallworks.eu/web/post/289, plus a fix Phil sent me. 

Image freezes on Linux if it was previously saved on Windows

 

… but also anything else that I might be missing.

 

cheers, 

Esteban
