Hi,
I just installed pharo 6.1 using the .zip file (
http://files.pharo.org/platform/Pharo6.1-64-linux.zip) and battled to start
up pharo with arguments.
The issue is that the pharo bash script (in the extracted home dir) quotes
all arguments:
# execute
exec "$LINUX/pharo" \
--plugins "$LINUX" \
--encoding utf8 \
-vm-display-X11 \
"$image"
where
image = $*
The impact is that if I want to run a startup script, eg.
pharo my.image startup.st
pharo complains with "Could not open the Pharo image file: 'my.image
startup.st'
So I must run the executable directly?
If so, some questions about the options that the bash script passes in:
--plugins "$LINUX" is this necessary? will the default not be enough?
--encoding utf8 the usage output says for example --textenc
default is "UTF-8". Is utf8 the same thing?
-vm-display-X11 I tried starting without this, and it worked. Do I
need to explicitly start with this?
Thanks
Otto
