Hi,
Thanks, that's very nice.
There is also a mac build here:
[http://files.pharo.org/platform/](http://files.pharo.org/platform/)
and the pharo 4 one does not work. That's the one I found when I poked around
and tested it.
cheers

Sierra.There was a late change to the VM, at least for Squeak, to stop the
black screen on startup on Sierra. Pharo 4 was before that change, and, for
that matter, before Sierra. Pharo 5 was after and clearly has that change.I
updated the VM on Pharo 4 to work also on Sierra, so this does not remains true
:)I'm pretty sure that the patches are one of these
two:https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/...https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/...and
I'm almost 100% sure that the second is the magic one.The simple solution
would be to replace the VM in the Pharo 4 bundle with the VM in the Pharo 5
bundle, but, alas, the VM in the Pharo 5 bundle can't read the image from Pharo
4.no, it will not work, because Pharo 5 is spur and Pharo 4 is notSo it would
look as if one's choices are:* Build the version of the VM from the Pharo 4
bundle, but, apply one or both of the patches above.* Figure out why Pharo 4 is
necessary and move to Pharo 5.* Run a squeak V3 VM and hack something together.
This might not give the full Pharo experience.To run the squeak V3 do the
following:Download and unzip the newest Squeak V3
VM.https://bintray.com/opensmalltalk/vm/download_file...Alt click on the
CocoaFast app and choose open.Quit.Download Pharo 4. Alt click on Pharo 4 and
choose "Show Package Contents." Navigate to Contents -> Resources. Drag the
"Pharo4.0.image" overtop the CocoaFast app and it launches. You do have
startup errors, so, you now have some time to play around.I realize that
neither look so easy, though the second one is probably the wisest just because
the Pharo group moves quickly.�� or you can download the Pharo 4.0 VM (from
here: http://files.pharo.org/get-files/40/) and run your Pharo 4.0 and Pharo
3.0 app without problems (I didn�t try Pharo 2.0 and 1.4, but I do not see why
they wouldn�t work). now, Pharo 1.0 will not work I think, because it is not a
Stack image (it didn�t existed at the time)�� there yes, you will need one of
the legacy VMs that we do not maintain anymore�� for that, there are some VMs
around, but I frankly would migrate any 1.0 based image�� is work (and maybe
hard work), but at the end it will pay :)if what you have is a OneClick
package, the best approach is to extract your Pharo*.image, Pharo*.changes and
Pharo*.sources and then use the Pharo 4.0 VM with them,cheers,

I don't have either a macos sierra at hand. Once a Mac OS Sierra user reported
me the problem your are mentioning[1], but I did not get very far
investigating the problem. For me it is not clear at all from[2] if there is
any Mac VM 4.0. May be Esteban can enlighten us. [1]
