Installing the DevTools

This is a set of instructions for installing the DevTools 2.0.8e into a development environment running with VisualWorks 2.52 with Envy 3.01 and Envy patch 970115 installed.

Extract the files:

First, extract all the files in DevTools208e(VW252_Envy301_9701515).zip to the startup directory of your ControlWORKS image.

The extracted files should include the following:

Config map list pane pop up menu. The menu item “find ...” was added. Import the Configuration Maps:

Using the import... menu item on the pop-up menu in the Names pane of a Configuration Map browser, import the Envy Configuration Maps from DevTools208e(VW252_Envy301_9701515).dat into your library.

The included Configuration Maps are:

ENVY/Manager R3.02 + 970115 + DevTools 2.0.3
DevTools 2.0.8e
VisualWorks Events R3.01 + VW2.5.2 a + DevTools 2.0

Loading the Configuration Maps:

Because some of the existing methods are modified for use by the DevTools, dependencies exist between the various modified Applications. The Configuration Maps should be loaded in a specific order to keep VisualWorks from locking up.

As you go to each of the Configuration Maps, you may find that some of the Applications in the map are already loaded.

If you wish, you can reduce the load time of the maps by only loading the Applications that haven’t been loaded yet.

Please load the Configuration Maps in the following order.

DevTools 2.0.8e
VisualWorks Events R3.01 + VW2.5.2 a + DevTools 2.0
ENVY/Manager R3.02 + 970115 + DevTools 2.0.3

Errors during load:

If you get any errors during the loading of the config maps, make sure that there are Configuration Maps which have the same names as the ones listed in the sections above, but without the " + DevTools 2.xx" part.

If you are getting an error like "Cannot complete the load because [Class name and date here] in [Application name here] does not exist in the library. ...", then read the answer in the FAQ which deals with the error.

If you are trying to use the DevTools in an unsupported Smalltalk development environment, you should check out the porting tips.

If you are still having problems after all other attempts to solve the problem, then try contacting me.
