[Vm-dev] VM Maker gcc options

[David Graham]

Cool! Thanks Eliot and Igor, I figured smalltalk had a shortcut for something like that.  Although I'm using a mac for learning smalltalk, working on this port makes it feels as if I've entered an old school "port the compiler so you can learn the language" situation. :)

I should have described my code more clearly, but by overriding addDriver:sources:generator and removing -ldl in my CogFreeBSDConfig class (which is a subclass of CogUnixConfig, which is a subclass of CUnixConfig), should have had the same effect, correct?

Also, the really strange thing is that the options are different in the link.txt file ("-lm -ldl -lpthread" vs . "-lSM -lICE -ldl -lGL -lm -lnsl -lX11" in CUnixConfig).  Using the search method you guys gave me, I can't find any other references to -ldl in my hierarchy.

Command-Shift-e on Mac, Alt-Shift-e on WIndows, and whatever the equivalent on linux causes the system to browse all methods whose literals include a string containing the selection.  So if you type and select -ldl in a workspace and do Command-Shift-e the method should be presented to you.

I've looked everywhere inside the generator image to find out where this is set, but I'm not having any luck.  The closest thing I've found is CPlatformConfig>>addDriver:sources:generator, but overriding and removing the -ldl options in there doesn't seem to have any effect (also the other options don't match up).  Can anyone point me to where this is set?
