GemTools for MagLev (Smalltalkers only)

[Monty Williams]

For the GS Smalltalkers among you, I uploaded a GemTools image that
works with the MagLev Alpha release to: http://bit.ly/8iKBAP

It defaults to the NetLDI port the MagLev installer set up in /etc/
services, i.e.
"gs64ldi 50378/tcp # Gemstone netldi".


Here's an arcane piece of administrivia that could entrap GLASS users:

If you're using GLASS the line in /etc/services is probably:
"gs64ldi 50377/tcp # Gemstone netldi".

You can change the default in the GemTools-MagLev-alpha image to
50377, and then run either GLASS or MagLev through port 50377. You
just can't run both at the same time.

If you want to run both GLASS and MagLev at the same time, you'll need
two lines in /etc/services with different service names. You'll also
need to change the NetLDI name used by GLASS -- it's a bit more
obscure to change the NetLDI name used by MagLev.

If you're a Rubyist, you can safely ignore this whole thread. It only affects people who previously ran GLASS on their machine, and now want to run MagLev, and in addition want to connect to them using a Smalltalk browser.

Hurrah!

Thanks Monty. I'm looking forward to learning Ruby too :-)

Is the ruby compiler available from within the Smalltalk environment? It would be really cool to host a ruby code browser (debugger? inspector?)

Cheers,

Steve

We'd like to do a "ruby code browser (debugger? inspector?)" from Smalltalk (i.e. GemTools). It shouldn't be that difficult, but probably not trivial.

Most of us work in Ruby, Allen does a lot using Topaz, but I don't see why you couldn't do most of that from Smalltalk.
