Hi,
I have downloaded the Smalltalk bridge from the GNUstep ftp.
Unfortunately the package was not compilable, as there was no
GNUmakefile. I have created one and fixed the example .m file there to
make it somehow work. The result is here:
http://stefan.agentfarms.net/Download/GNUstep/Prototypes/gstobjc-1.2-stiivi-20050513.tar.bz2
It should display a kind of hello message.
Issues I had:
- the bridge requires readline and ncurses - can be that eliminated
somehow?
- the program ended on Smalltalk readline
- how can I get ObjC proxy for a Smalltalk object? I was not able to say
anything about a result of an execution. I want to do someting like:
Smalltalk *smalltalk; /* say this exists */
NSMutableArray *array; /* this exists too */
...
result = [smalltalk execute:@"1+1"];
[array addObject:result];
NSLog(@"Added number %i", [result intValue]);
Also ... how can I reference ObjectiveC objects from Smalltalk? Would it
be possible to give more examples?
Anyway, it looks like a excellent base for a Smalltalk computational
environment for ObjectiveC.
Regards,
Stefan Urbanek
