Date: Thu, Aug 6, 2009 at 4:10 PM<br>Subject: [Pharo-project] Compiling a Squeak VM for Pharo on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server (64bit)<br>To: <a href="mailto:pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr" target="_blank">pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr</a><br>
<br><br>I tried using the pre-compiled VM from the Pharo website to no avail.<br>
I'm not exactly sure what the problem is, but when running the<br>
pre-compiled Pharo VM, OR the pre-compiled Squeak 3.10-6 VM, they just<br>
quit with a "File not found" error. My only hunch regarding this is<br>
that they were compiled on 32bit Linuxes, and I'm using a 64bit Linux.<br>
<br>
I'm using a bare-bones install of Ubuntu server, 8.04LTS 64bit. I'm<br>
using Slicehost.com for a virtual server to run a Seaside application<br>
(they use all 64bit *NIXs), and I'm switching from vanilla Squeak 3.9<br>
to Pharo.<br>
<br>
So, since the Squeak 3.10-6 VM didn't work either I decided to compile<br>
my own VM. This does not work out of the box on a vanilla Ubuntu<br>
Server 8.04 install, so here are the steps I took to successfully<br>
compile the VM from the 3.10-6 src files:<br>
<br>
(cd /Squeak-3.10-6/platforms/unix)<br>
<br>
Configure:<br>
./config/configure --without-x --without-gl --without-quartz --without-npsqueak<br>
<br>
NOTE: The configure command adds 2 entries to disable the RomePlugin.<br>
It looks like it first tests Freetype (not installed so adds an entry<br>
to disable RomePlugin), and then tests Cairo (not installed, so adds<br>
*another* entry to disable RomePlugin). I believe the autoconf files<br>
need to be fixed for this, but I leave it up to the squeak-dev folks<br>
to figure that out as I have no knowledge of autoconf.<br>
<br>
Make:<br>
make squeak (this will error)<br>
<br>
To fix the damage from the note above, I had to remove the duplicate<br>
entry for RomePlugin_exports on line 22 of disabledPlugins.c.<br>
<br>
Make:<br>
make squeak (should be successful)<br>
make squeak install<br>
<br>
move /usr/local/lib/squeak/3.10-6/UUIDPlugin to UUIDPlugin.bak as it<br>
has the wrong ELF header, and I've heard has other problems too.<br>
<br>
And now /usr/local/bin/squeak should work! (note, without X you'll<br>
need to add "-vm display=none" for the VM to start).<br>
<br>
I hope this helps people! Thanks for everybody's hard work on Pharo!<br>
