Hi there,
I'm using Installer to make a custom 3dot10 7159. The first things I do
in the script is to load from universe FreeTypePlus (wich brings FFI).
Then I've
load LPF.
If I do that it never ends due to Squeak not being able of resolving a
name.
NetNameResolver addressForName: 'installer.pbwiki.com/f/LPF.st'
Before loading the FreeTypePlus, evaluating the previous sentence has an
instant response of the address.
But if I do load the FreeTypePlus package it never ends. Maybe an FFI
issue?
I'm in Win32 using
SqueakFFIPrims.dll from 8/30/2007
Squeak.exe from 6/5/2007
any clue?
I think it is this bug... http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6980
I have been following the conversations re: FT2Plugin etc. , but haven't had
time to comment.
I hope to contribute to the discussion soon.
The universe FreeTypePLus packages are quite old.
You may find the latest from squeaksource more appropriate.
I wrote before about how to install them - copied below...
-----
Copy these files (included in
http://www.zen61439.zen.co.uk/ft_pharo/ft_pharo.zip ) to the default
directory...
PinesoftEnhancementsForFreetype-tween.3.mcz
FreeType-tween.435.mcz
FreeType Plus Squeak Sans Font Pack.small.sar
FreeTypeSubPixelAntiAliasing-tween.13.mcz
and then filein the attached script (contents shown below)..
| repository |
repository := MCDirectoryRepository new.
MCVersionLoader new
addVersion: (repository loadVersionFromFileNamed:
'PinesoftEnhancementsForFreetype-tween.3.mcz');
load.
MCVersionLoader new
addVersion: (repository loadVersionFromFileNamed:
'FreeType-tween.435.mcz');
load.
SARInstaller installSAR: 'FreeType Plus Squeak Sans Font Pack.small.sar'.
MCVersionLoader new
addVersion: (repository loadVersionFromFileNamed:
'FreeTypeSubPixelAntiAliasing-tween.13.mcz');
load.
!

Omit the PinesoftEnhancementsForFreetype-tween.3.mcz if you are loading into
an image that already has UIEnhancements/Polymorph loaded.
Cheers,
Andy
thanks

PD: here is the beginning of the script:
Utilities
informUser: 'Upgrading universe packages'
during: [ UUniverse systemUniverse updatePackagesViaWWW ].
(UUniverse systemUniverse newestPackageNamed: 'FreeType Plus')
ifNotNilDo: [ :package| |inst|
inst := UGlobalInstaller universe: UUniverse
systemUniverse.
inst planToInstallPackage: package.
inst doInstall ].
(HTTPSocket httpGet: 'installer.pbwiki.com/f/LPF.st') readStream fileIn.

I already created a bug report for this, Andreas
may be able to tell you more:
http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6980
As a workaround you can can use FFI-Kernel-ar6.mcz
instead of FFI-Kernel-ar-8.mcz.

Yeah, I had forgotten about the problem. The issue comes from a call to
Smalltalk>>recreateSpecialObjectsArray (which is required for the FFI to
work correctly) and which accidentally nukes the external semaphore
table. The fix is simple: Replace the following line in
SystemDictionary>>recreateSpecialObjectsArray
newArray at: 39 put: Array new.
by
"Preserve external semaphores when recreating splObjs"
newArray at: 39 put: (self specialObjectsArray at: 39).
Also, saving and restarting the image after loading the FFI is good
temporary workaround for this problem.
Cheers,
- Andreas
