Havent followed this thread and currently lacking some time. The VMMaker config is changeable, so go ahead.
Take care that it also works in latest Squeak trunk. Since most VM maintainers use Squeak to build the VM this is essential to follow their progress. Would also be a great move if Alien would be available on Windows - this would open the door to interfacing with Win technologies like COM or .NET (and therefore wake more commercial interest in Pharo). Having Alien on major OS platforms would also allow to use Smalltalk<-> Java bridging technologies like JavaConnect/JNIPort, Bye T. -------- Original-Nachricht -------- > Datum: Tue, 23 Feb 2010 10:08:55 +0100 > Von: Mariano Martinez Peck <[email protected]> > An: [email protected] > CC: Arnaud Jean-Baptiste <[email protected]>, Torsten Bergmann > <[email protected]> > Betreff: Re: [Pharo-project] Trying to build alien plugin in linux > Torsten and JB: it would be cool to create a new metacello configuration > version with this new version of VMMaker, puting the fix about the > baseHeaderSize and integrating JB fixes to VMMaker. > > Cheers > > Mariano > > On Tue, Feb 23, 2010 at 7:55 AM, Fernando olivero > <[email protected]>wrote: > > > > > On Feb 23, 2010, at 4:19 AM, John M McIntosh wrote: > > > > > > > > On 2010-02-22, at 6:48 PM, Javier Pimás wrote: > > > > > >> > > > > > >> Lastly, as I said when I loaded Alien Core the first time, I got this > > error while loading it: > > >> > > >> Alien class>>#ensureInSpecialObjectsArray: "Index probably wrong". > > >> > > >> What should I do about that? ignore it? > > > > > > Well it seems to be related to > > > > > > ((Smalltalk includesKey: #ObjectMemory) > > > and: [((Smalltalk at: #ObjectMemory) classPool at: #ClassAlien > > ifAbsent: []) ~~ (index - 1)]) ifTrue: > > > [self error: 'index probably wrong']. > > > > > > Usually people don't have ObjectMemory loaded in their image, and I"m > not > > sure what it is check for. > > > Why don't you try it in a regular Pharo image versus your VMMaker > image. > > > > Great work Jorge!
