Git revision: -768d3ef4 Easily builds on Debian Bullseye for AMD64 with 4 Gigabytes in less than fiv= e minutes. Today, I used Synaptic to install whatever the default prerequisites: Emacs-= nox, Tk/TCL v8.6, Gtk v2, libsigsegv, OpenGL, FreeGLUT, etc. and their devel= opment headers. (The hardest part was trying to follow info automake, info autoconfig, and i= nfo autoreconf to learn how to generate a configure to get started.) A correct way: $ mkdir ~/GST $ cd ~/GST $ git clone https://https.git.savannah.gnu.org/git/smalltalk.git $ autoreconf -vif (generated a configure to execute) $ ./configure --help $ ./configure $ make Produced a 6 KiB gst shell script, a 2.2 MiB gst.im app, and many star packa= ges (i.e., zipped smalltalk archive). $ ./gst --version GNU Smalltalk version 3.2.92-768d3ef4 ... $ ./gst st> 2 + 3 5 st> 'Hello World!' 'Hello World!' st> 8r300. 16rFFFF 192 65535 st> 4 squared 16 st> a :=3D 7 7 st> a 7 st> a! 7 st> a nil (Control-D or ObjectMemory quit) $ sudo make install $ gst $ FileStream fileIn: '/home/user/GST/smalltalk/packages/opengl/test/test.st'= (Mouse rotate a teapot, plus see a sphere. Works for me as user.) $ gst st> PackageLoader fileInPackage: #BLOXBrowser (Correctly loads BloxTK package but no visual is shown. Then I tried its tes= t but "key Gui not found".) st> FileStream fileIn: '/home/user/GST/smalltalk/examples/Tetris.st' (Only the st> prompt is shown. I don't know how to start this Tetris.) (PackageLoader fileInPackage: #VisualGST has "DLD error: requested module gs= t-glib was not found") Still no visual class browser is working for me. -- John=
