[Vm-dev] Problem with building the PharoVM: cairo tar -J option invalid

[phil at highoctane.be]

Just a note on a gotcha:

port install gnutar

will install tar but depending on how one's PATH is set, which tar
must answer the right one or it will fail.

So, I did:

export PATH=/opt/local/bin:$PATH

before the

make

in build/

I got a Pharo.app in results now :-)

Still, the getImage.sh in image/ still contains wrong pathes.

These are the ones that seem to work (yes, it should point to the files thing).

PREBUILT_IMAGE_URL="https://ci.inria.fr/pharo/view/VM/job/Cog-Git-Tracker/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/vmmaker-image.zip"
URL="https://ci.inria.fr/pharo/view/1.4/job/Pharo-1.4/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/"
VERSION="Pharo-1.4"

Maybe the ImageConfiguration.st could benefit from having:

   stream << '"Configuration for Building Pharo
---------------------------------------------------"'; cr.
        stream << 'PharoVMBuilder build.'; cr.


Thanks for the helping hand!

Phil
