Tobias,

I restarted completely, by deleting and recreating a directory Smalltalk in
my home directory,
I retrace all my steps, starting with a clone of the opensmalltalk-vm
project in git. Maybe this is helpful:

$ git  clone https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm.git
Cloning into 'opensmalltalk-vm'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 436, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (436/436), done.

Checking out files: 100% (7093/7093), done.


2. let's check the status of git

$ cd opensmalltalk-vm
$ git status
On branch Cog
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/Cog'.

nothing to commit, working tree clean


3. that looks ok, now I execute the mvn-script:

$ pwd
/usr/home/edwin/Smalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm
$ cd build.linux64x64
$ cd squeak.cog.spur
$ cd build
$ ./mvm
platforms/Cross/vm/sqSCCSVersion.h not up-to-date.
You must run ../../../scripts/updateSCCSVersions

4. let's check the status of git

$ pwd
/usr/home/edwin/Smalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm
$ git status
On branch Cog
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/Cog'.

nothing to commit, working tree clean

5. nuw run the updateSCCSVersions script, that seems to go wrong:

$ pwd
/usr/home/edwin/Smalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm
$
$ scripts/updateSCCSVersions
fatal: cannot run .git_filters/RevDateURL.smudge: No such file or directory
error: cannot fork to run external filter '.git_filters/RevDateURL.smudge'
error: external filter '.git_filters/RevDateURL.smudge' failed
fatal: platforms/Cross/plugins/sqPluginsSCCSVersion.h: smudge filter
RevDateURL failed


6. and now git looks not ok:

$ git status
fatal: cannot run .git_filters/RevDateURL.clean: No such file or directory
error: cannot fork to run external filter '.git_filters/RevDateURL.clean'
error: external filter '.git_filters/RevDateURL.clean' failed
fatal: platforms/Cross/vm/sqSCCSVersion.h: clean filter 'RevDateURL' failed


I hope this helps in some way. If you need some displays from the executed
scripts, I can always try to make some modifications.
It's that for  now, I don't understand what is happening, so for me, it's
hard to find out what could be useful.

Thanks,

Edwin Ancaer
