This mail just wanted to list<br>
the different ways to build a VM that are currently<br>
used to make everyone aware of what other parties<br>
do.<br>
The starting point was that, from simply starting off<br>
the squeakvm site, it was a bit tricky to get to<br>
compile a VM for on your own. And hence Marcel provided this<br>
short tutorial.<br>
Eliot just wants to build the Cog VM in a way he has not<br>
to put too much effort into learning the build environment<br>
(did I understand you the right way, Eliot?).<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Exactly.

And you achieved that! :)<br>

Thank you for that great offer!<br>

Understandable. There are always some small thing you just want to change,<br>
and that is the point where one might want to compile manually. For<br>
example, in Marcel's case, he just needed a Windows VM that has no<br>
memory-cap of 512 MB, and he just wanted to compile a Cog VM with<br>
more Memory. Setting up an automated build for this small task<br>
seems overkill to me.<br>
However, in most other cases, continuous integration is clearly the<br>
way to go!<br>
