Squeak Issue - Raspberry Pi Forums

i opened squeak , says pick image. theres problem though, dont see images choose from. can me? thank you

[edited explain simpler way things makes use of built-in parts instead of bypassing them]

unfortunately there no squeak image files (other 1 used implement scratch application) in default pi distribution. can download 1 http://www.squeak.org - hit obvious button @ bottom of download column on page. moderately complex zip file setup decompress system runnable on pretty x86 machine (sigh, know...) don't despair. it's simple extract 3 things need pi. (later; humph, should simple unix, things made deliberately more complicated necessary)

need these 3 important files -
squeakv41.sources
squeak4.5-13860.image
squeak4.5-13860.changes

-
open terminal (i going explain using xarchiver it's slow , stupid typing bit way faster).

code: select all

cd /home/pi/squeak

extract files -

code: select all

unzip -j pathtowhereyouputzipfile/squeak-4.5-all-in-one.zip squeak-4.5-all-in-one.app/contents/resources/squeakv41.sources squeak-4.5-all-in-one.app/contents/resources/squeak4.5-13680.* 

have vm executable run squeak simplest thing explain cd squeak directory -we're there if you're following along

code: select all

cd ~/squeak

,

code: select all

squeak

start 1 image have.

suggest making few changes straight away

• a) drag window big fit screen comfortably.
  b) unload called 'shout', spends time on slower machines making prettified text
  • 1) click on 'tools' menubar item
    2)near middle of menu, click on 'monticello browser' item
    3)in left-hand list of window opens drag scroller find 'shoutcore' (or start typing 'sho' , filter list you; neat, eh?)
    4)click *right* mouse button , menu should pop 'unload package' bit on half-way down, click on item unload shout.
    5) wait moment while uninstaller thing
    6) close monticello browser clicking on red-circle-x
  c) save modified image new file; leave original untouched , in fact, maybe make read-only. way won't need repeat painful unzipping dance.
  • 1)click on mouse logo on top-right.
    2)click on 'save image as...' item
    3)type meaningful name - 'chrisphil-squeak4.5' , click on 'accept'.

use saved image later

code: select all

squeak chrisphilsqueak4.5.image

should possible make desktop badges start up, , put files in 'official' places cares.
