Installing Squeak

[Kirk Fraser]

I am having trouble installing Squeak. I have Squeak running but I cannot hook it up to the RPi menu.

I also do not know if any apt-get command works with Squeak. What I did is:
download from Squeak.org the all in one file, unzip it on a Windows machine
open RPi directory permission using: sudo chmod 777 /usr/lib/squeak
copy 3 files to /usr/lib/squeak which are Squeak*,image, Squeak*.changes, Squeak*.sources.
double click on the image file starts it.

RPi's Menu / Preferences / Main Menu Editor under Education or Programming allows checking Squeak
Squeak properties reveals a squeak command. It apparently goes to /usr/bin/squeak
Nothing I've tried starts the squeak*.image file Please show how and explain. Thanks.

I don't know about editing the menu but this worked for me

Downloaded Squeak5.1-16548-32bit-All-in-One.zip
unzipped on Windows
then copied it to my Pi

open Terminal and went into Squeak5.1-16548-32bit-All-in-One folder and typed in

Code: Select all

bash squeak.sh

and it seemed to load

Surely one should use the Linux (ARM) download ??

HANG ON

I've just realised that this is ONLY about adding an item to the menu - the OP in this thread is same as other one back last year!




@Kirk
What'd I'd suggest is starting ANOTHER thread on "How do I add item to Programming Menu"

saying Something like
"I can run Squeak from a terminal by doing xxxxxxxxx"

How can I add a menu item to the Programming section to do the same

Actually I think I need to edit that post to bring it up to date; the squeak.org site has slightly different options available now.

That is why I suggested the ARM version !!
