-------------------------------------------------------------------------- GNU SmallTalk V1.1.1 - Release notes for AMIGA-port - - Thursday 05-Mar-92 22:50:36 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi there! ~~~~~~~~~ I just got my fingers on the (already modified) source of this Small- Talk-Interpreter. It's compiled on an 68000-Amiga with OS2.0 using M. Wild's port of GCC-1.40. I guess this works, I don't know anything Smalltalk. Changes ~~~~~~~ I didn't have the original FSF-source but a bunch of files that were changed to run with Messy-DOS (MS-DOS). Here's what I've changed/added: * Skipping Header when saving binary image via fputc() instead of the existing fseek() due to an error in fseek(): fseek(writeFile,posOffset, SEEK_SET) doesn't work, ftell(writeFile) remains 0! * Dummy-function for popen(); same as for MS-DOS * In order to re-compile, after running bison you must comment lines 394 (#ifndef YYIMPURE) and 405 (#endif) OUT! * No fixed value for mem-allocation, see SMALLTALK_MEM below. Setup ~~~~~ Set up two directories, one to hold the kernel-source, the other to put the binary Smalltalk-image into. Assign them as follows: assign GNUSmallTalkKernel: dh0:languages/SmallTalk/Kernel assign GNUSmallTalkImages: dh0:languages/SmallTalk/Images The files in this directories are only processed if they weren't found in the directories pointed to by the environment-variables KERNEL_PATH and IMAGE-PATH, see dox for details. Besides that, the size of the memory-pool can be adjusted via the SMALLTALK_MEM-environment-variable. Just give it the pool-size in bytes and remember that there are two pools! What's left to say? Nothing! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hubert Feyrer Bachstr. 40 W-8304 Mallersdorf GERMANY Tel. 08772 / 6084 ...and still no email.
