I have a good [rough draft] start on very detailed (too detailed?) steps to properly install Cygwin
and build the Cog VM on Windows. I just need to add preparing the image for first time use, etc...:<br><br><a href="http://book.pharo-project.org/book/Virtual-Machine/Building/BuildVMOnWindows/BuildCogVMOnWindows/">http://book.pharo-project.org/book/Virtual-Machine/Building/BuildVMOnWindows/BuildCogVMOnWindows/</a><br>
<br>(I haven't started editing/revising yet).<br><br>Anyway, if anyone could help me properly position my two topics, "Cog VM" and "Traditional (Squeak) VM" underneath "The MS-Windows way," I would greatly appreciated it. Although they are subsections, they are fully "unindented" like a chapter in the table of contents...<br>

<br>Disregard!

Is there some way to package the tools required to build Cog similar to the Squeak-Win32-Tools package that is available for the standard Squeak VM?<br><br>I just don't seem to be savvy enough to choose all the proper cygwin options. I DID manage to get subversion loaded in cygwin and check out the sources, but I am sure I am doing the wrong thing by installing the 1.7.5 version of cygwin since HowToBuild references 1.5.24. Plus, I just can't seem to get the right gcc...I keep getting "gcc: The -mno-cygwin flag has been removed; use a mingq-targeted cross-compiler," and I just can't seem to get the right installation options selected in the "Devel" section.<br>
<br>So...either a prebuilt bundle or very specific instructions for mere mortals would be very helpful! It would be nice to keep up with the fixes; this VM made a HUGE difference in some Binaural Beat generation code I have that writes very large audio files. I can actually fork the code now and keep using the image with very good responsiveness! Amazing!<br>
<br>Thanks for any help,<br><font color="#888888"><br>Rob <br>
