VirtualImage - Smalltalk 1109
by admin on Nov.20, 2009, under Smalltalk
Here is my next Smalltalk image - useable under VirtualBox: Smalltalk1109.
This image uses Ubuntu 9.10 and offers several Smalltalk dialects to play with:
* VASmalltalk 8.01 (Build 130) (Linux and Windows) - actually 8.01 has been published yesterday :-(, but then it will be come up at smalltalk1209, published next month.
* VisualWorks 7.6NC (Linux)
* Smalltalk/X (Linux)
* Pharo (Linux)
The main user for this machine is named “smalltalk” with password “smalltalk”. The image is pretty large: 2.4 GB. I hope, that the upload went ok.
You may spread this image on all servers you like - even your own.
There’s a short document available on the Desktop of that user - just read it to get more information, what is on this image.
The next release will be in December containing
* VA8.01 (Windows and Linux),
* Squeak (Linux)
* Pharo (Linux and Windows)
* Smalltalk/X (Linux and Windows)
* SQLite (3.6.20 Windows, 3.6.9 Linux and 3.6.20 Linux)
* PostgreSQL 8.4.1 (Linux with native Windows client libraries)
Depending on Cincoms’ release plan:
* ObjectStudio 8.1NC (or 8.2NC) (Problems with menus … not solvable)
* VisualWorks 7.6NC (Windows and Linux) (or 7.7.NC)
using Debian 5.0.3 and Wine 1.1.33.
Special problems so far:
* ObjectStudio can be installed, is starting up - but all menues are transparent and therefore difficult to use.
* Dolphin can be installed, is starting but some Windows are empty and walking around results in general case to a fault.
