Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:

git clone git@github.com:kisp/smalltalk-playground.git

2. Navigate into the repository:

cd smalltalk-playground

3. Resolve DNS Resolution Issue (if applicable):

   Due to a known issue with DNS resolution within the Docker container when using Docker Compose, we need to bind the resolv.conf file into the container. Follow these steps:

   a. Copy the example resolv.conf file:

   cp resolv.conf.example resolv.conf

   b. Edit the resolv.conf file to provide suitable nameservers. Alternatively, if network access is not required for running Emacs and GNU Smalltalk, you can leave it as is.

4. Launch Emacs and Open hello.st:

make open-hello.st

5. Using Emacs:

   • Type C-c m to start the Smalltalk interpreter.
   • Type C-c f to "filein" the hello.st buffer and run it in the interpreter.
