newImage.sh creates a generator.image (Now we have that for the Cog branch as Eliot added it when I was visiting him in May).</div><div>build.sh consists basically in calling cmake then make:</div></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:medium none;padding:0px">

<div><br></div><div>The best would be to try to compile the VM on a freshly installed computer so you can know if it installs everything that is needed.</div><div><br></div><div>Keep going with this great work :-)</div><div>

It's up to you. But I'm curious; why are you putting it in an app?<br>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>As I do one gnu-build tree, I am going to do its corresponding CMake tree. </div><div><br></div><div>The CMake configuration files are generated from Squeak. </div><div><br></div><div>It would be like GNU makefiles and autoconf files are generated from Squeak.<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>Process is like this:</div><div><br></div><div>1. have a directory structure.</div><div>2. Tell CMakeVMMakerSqueak to generate which creates the CMake infrastructure within the specified directory. (Or generateWithSources to create VMMaker sources and CMake files)</div>
<div>3. from the command line, run the generated buils script 'build.sh' which</div><div> 3.a (on pharo, does some git stuff) </div><div> 3.b invokes cmake</div><div> 3.c invokes make</div><div>4. get your results out of the oscogvm/results directory.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If everything is stable, the end user just does a svn co of the cmake branch they want and invokes the build.sh script. <---THIS is what Tim R. wants as the deliverable</div><div><br></div><div>I have another process in place for vm developers similar to your buildsqueaktrunk.sh scripts.

<div>a standard VM build environment (complete with source tree set up relative to Squeak) or a CogVM build environment. The idea being to make it easy on newbie vm guys to get up and running.</div><div><br></div><div><br>
