To build the latest Cog VM with the ARM simulation plugins doesn't seem to work for me. I thought maybe I had dirty state, so I started from a clean clone (this is the current tip of the Cog branch, 60973ef):
$ git clone git@github.com:OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm.git $ cd opensmalltalk-vm $ cd build.linux64x64/gdbarm32 $ ./conf.COG checking build system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... arm-unknown-linux-gnu checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out ... checking for working strncmp... yes configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile config.status: error: cannot find input file: `testsuite/Makefile.in' $ _
Is this the supposed way? Has anyone built ARM recently?
I build a fair amount of ARM code somewhat regularly on this machine, therefore I doubt this is some basic dysfunctionality of my dev environment.
My first reflex was to go and just hack into the problem, but if it doesn't even go this far out of the box, then I'd expect I am somehow wrong and I thought I'd ask before digging myself too deep into the wrong direction. Also I've been having doubts, if these configure scripts were broken, people would be complaining? does anyone do ARM? (and by that I mean "develop the VM" for which you need the simulator) Why isn't CI complaining? does CI only cover Intel? does CI only cover production-packaging?
