Hi Ben.
Thanks for the feedback.
I though I was going to be asking for the moon... for something to parse the VMMaker classes in the system into a desktop GUI selection tool, there you've already thought of something similar. Not withstanding any Seaside UI, I think a desktop UI would be more use for individuals to explore how the build system works - and the infrastructure would be common between the two UI.
There is an existing tool VMMakerTool that does what you say.
The barrier to entry for a newbies is getting everything set up and configured. Once over the initial hump, the development/compile/build process is pretty easy to work with.
To help newbies jump-that-hump , I have a script in Cog/image/buildsqueakcmakeimage.sh (broken at the moment, investigating why now) that sets up Squeak images with all the tools installed and configured ready for use.
This includes the VMMakerTool for old-school generation, Eliot's cog scripts and the under-development CMakeVMakerSqueak stuff.
The script supports setting up new Cog dev with VMaker.oscog and the old StandardVM in VMMaker package, so its easy to get up and running quickly.
>From some reason its broken at the moment and I am debugging it now.
cheers.
