Self OS X jaguar

okay, i just installed jaguar, and downloaded all the latest Self 'stuff.' for the life of me i can't get self to work. this happened before. if i try to use the SelfDroplet, i get: Last login: Tue Jan 14 01:14:15 on ttyp1 cd "${SELF_WORKING_DIR}"/objects; ../vm/mac_osx/vmWelcome to Darwin! _project/build/Self.app/Contents/MacOS/Self -s "/Users/chresko/Desktop/Self/objects/Demo.snap" [chresko:~] chresko% cd "${SELF_WORKING_DIR}"/objects; ../vm/mac_osx/vm_project/build/Self.app/Contents/MacOS/Self -s "/Users/chresko/Desktop/Self/objects/Demo.snap" SELF_WORKING_DIR: Undefined variable. if i launch self from the command line, and try to do the the _RunScript deal, i get numerous errors which i don't understand. how on earth do you get self working under OS X, jaguar? if i edit the applescript by replacing SELF_WORKING_DIR with the correct directory, it still doesn't work. all of my self folders/directories are on my desktop. if someone could point the way, i'd appreciate it. thanks, christian

Re: [self-interest] Re: Trouble running Self/x86

Paul, I'm afraid the cygwin version of Self is currently broken - probably because of some changes in memory allocation within cygwin.dll (cygwin 1.3.19 is the last version I'v used successfully). Unfortunatly I'm not able to spend more time on this problem at the moment. To try out Self you could try to go back 1.3.19 (I'm not sure if you can still find it). Alternatively, to try the more stable Linux version without installing Linux, is to use Knoppix, a bootable CD image with a fully configured Linux-System: http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html Regards, Harald Paul Chapman <yahoo(a)igblan.com> schrieb am 15.04.2003, 11:42:35: > Jecel, > > > What is the "-c" option?

Best Self platform?
by Steve Dekorte 26 May '03

26 May '03

Is Self better significantly better optimized for x86 or PPC? Would a 3Ghz x86 likely make a better Self platform than a dual 1.4Ghz PPC? Just curious, Steve "Statically typed languages are like American sports cars. They go fast, but only in a straight line"

Trouble downloading Self snapshots
by Phil Thompson 17 May '03

17 May '03

Hi there a college mentioned Self to me when we were having a chat about pure OO languages so I thought I'd give it a go. I've downloaded the Cygwin version and managed to get the VM# prompt but can't download either of the snapshots. The file sizes are: Demo.snap.gz 12.9MB Empty.snap.gz 15.8MB When I try to extract them I get gzip incomplete or corrupted from PowerArchiver. I've tried using cygwin gzip but get a message saying it's not a gzip file. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks, Phil
