style='font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;'>Hi David Hi Holger<br><br><br>On thinking about this, you guys are probably right.<br><br>Unfortunately, I have no interest in that project (I would like to move on to other things)<br><br>If you take the output from just one configuration like....<br><br>SqueakLinux64x86w32CompatBuilder <br> configureA: #Linux64x86w32BitSqueakCogSpurConfig forBuildType:#build; <br> enableMessageTracking: false;<br> generateByTemplate.<br><br><br>It will generate cmake.build.linux64x86w32BitCompatibility directory structure (in the oscogvm directory under your image directory)<br><br>If you then run cmake . it will generate the cmake output.<br><br>That is essentially Ian's work generated from CMakeVMMakerSqueak.<br><br><br>Here is my reasoning.<br><br><br>We want source control of the CMake artefacts<br>We want a quick way to create additional build trees .<br><br>With the move to GIT, the source control and distribution problems are resolved with git's branch merge etc. It is duplication to do that in Squeak (which is what the CMakeVMMakerSqueak project is)<br>It may be quicker to to create new CMake artefacts in plain scripts.<br><br><br>I think in terms of time, the experiment would prove useful to see if that is the better model for building out the CMake scripts.<br><br>If not, I can continue the work on CMakeVMMakerSqueak.<br><br>There are a couple more technical issues to fix (how plugins/cmake interact ...?)<br>The CHIEF issue is ease of use and logic to the setup of new configurations for different platforms.<br><br><br>I am currently working on a Terse Guide for setting up a configuration "quickly" and as you can see, there is significant work to it (as Holger mentioned):<br><br><br><b>NOT DONE</b><br>setGlobalOptions<br><br><br><b>IDENTIFY CONFIGURATIONS CATEGORY</b><br>CMakeVMMakerSqueak-Linux64x64<br><br><b>IDENTIFY ABSTRACT BASE
