Quiet in Self land?
by Chris Double 07 Aug '16

07 Aug '16

It's been pretty quiet on this list, so I thought I'd start a conversation to see if the list is working. Anyone doing any interesting Self work? I sidelined my VNC client in Self for a bit due to getting busy in my day job but plan to get back to it soon and finish it off. It's pretty close. The missing part is mostly key handling. I'd like to tidy up my Android patches too and get them submitted so at least Intel android would work out of the box. What do people feel would make Self more viable as a fun project to hack on? -- http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz

OS X El Capitan

Hi all, By default the current version of Self on OS X installs a VM in /usr/bin This is now verboten in the latest OS X - the whole of /usr is locked off even to root So we will need to change to using /usr/local/bin I’d be interested in any other issued people are having with El Capitan… Cheers, Russell

getting started

Hi, I'm a complete newbie, so please excuse. I have been Smalltalking for a long time and would like to learn self. I downloaded the vm and Clean.snap (on linux). I cloned http://github.com/russellallen/self and tried to run the worldBuilder.self in the cloned tree. (VM# 'self/objects/worldBuilder.self' _RunScript). It's a bit hard for me to read the stack that the VM spews out, but it appears as if my setup is not correct. If you think it's useful, I'll send it. What should I be reading first to get going? Should I read more in the handbook first? Should I be put the files in a specific directory structure? How do you recommend I get into self? http://forum.selflanguage.org/ does not seem to be up - browser can't connect. When I run the VM, the version it prints is "Self Virtual Machine Version 4.1.13". The handbook says 4.5 is the most recent version. Should I build the VM? Thanks Otto
