[Cuis-dev] Re : Re: Updates to VectorEngine and VectorEnginePlugin

[Gerald Klix]

Hilaire,

about which operating system do we talk here?

If you use Windows, my VM is too old.
(The checks mentioned below nevertheless should work)

If you use MacOS, you can perform the checks
described below, but Juan has to provide
the correct values (still no Mac here).

Let's stipulate that you use my Linux VM (in one of its versions).
Please check the following:

CHECK1
CodePackage named: 'VectorGraphics' createIfAbsent: false registerIfNew: 
false :: fullFileName

This should answer something like this:
'/home/bear/smallworks/cuis/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev/Packages/Features/VectorGraphics.pck.st' 


The important part is 
"Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev/Packages/Features/VectorGraphics.pck.st', meaning 
you should load it from
the Cuis-Distribution (or the Haver distribution).

CHECK2
Please check:
VectorEngineWithPlugin pluginApiVersion

This should answer a number between 3 and 99.
especially any number below 3 means "no plugin".

CHECK3
Please check:
Smalltalk getSystemAttribute: 1006

This should answer:
'Unix built on Jun  2 2021 09:58:05 Compiler: Clang 12.0.0 
(https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git 
d28af7c654d8db0b68c175db5ce212d74fb5e9bc)'

CHECK4
Please check:
Smalltalk getSystemAttribute: 1009

This should answer:
'VM: 202105210801-HVR_MVP_ALPHA3_VEP_2021-06-02 
bear at speedy:gitwork/opensmalltalk-vm Date: Fri May 21 10:01:27 2021

bear at speedy:gitwork/opensmalltalk-vm'


HTH and Best Regards,

Gerald
