Don't worry about <br>it for now, as it will have no significant impact on your VM or on your <br>ability to run an image. <br> <br>You should expect to see the "This interpreter (vers. 6505) cannot read <br>image file" message on the older Squeak images (2.8 and 3.0) but not on <br>the 4.5 image. You VM will read an image format number from the first 4 <br>(or 8) bytes of the image file to determine what flavor of image it is, so <br>something may be going wrong at the point. But it sounds like the 4.5 <br>image is actually running, though perhaps failing to open a display window <br>properly. <br> <br>The build system for Cog (and StackInterpreter) uses plugins.int and <br>plugins.ext that you can edit by hand. Keep of copy of them outside your <br>build directory so that you can restore your configuration quickly if you <br>delete them. (In the trunk VM build, plugins.int and plugins.ext are <br>generated by VMMakerTool, or you can use hand edited versions as in Cog if <br>you prefer.) <br> <br>Dave <br> <br>> Howdy all. <br>> <br>> I am able to build the source for the StackIntepreter and do a make <br>> install. (very gratifying) <br>> <br>> I had to remove the UUID from plugins.int for the build to succeed (I will <br>> be investigating this later)* <br>> <br>> I tried launching a Squeak 3.0, 2.8 , 4.0 and finally the 4.5 image in <br>> that order. I kept getting variants of <br>> <br>> This interpreter (vers. 6505) cannot read image file (vers. 1712914432). <br>> Press CR to quit.. <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> The 4.5 (the image from which it was built) is the only one that attempts <br>> to run; no World launches <br>> <br>> While I am dusting off my ddd manual to debug this, I thought I would post <br>> this to get your thoughts in case there are any flashing red lights that <br>> are obvious to anybody. <br>> <br>> My 'working thoughts' at the moment are: <br>> <br>> 1. UUID could be required for the thing to run, but I don't know that. <br>> 2. Since it is StackInterpreter, I assumed it would have to run against an <br>> older pre-Cog image, but it refuses to launch the image <br>> Thinking about it, this semi-makes sense because StackInterpreter is <br>> under NewObjectMemory in the class hierarchy <br>> 3.
