I am running on Windows 8.1 and this crtdll missing thing worried me as this is a pretty common dll on Windows.
So, I had a look at Pharo.exe from Zeroconf and got the following when looking at it in depends.exe
Looks like the dll is missing from the system. The fact that some other module loads msvcrt.dll should compensate for it since it is a kind of clone. (there are a lot of missing DLLs listed as well.
Check: http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~main/cs1300/doc/mingwfaq.html#msvcrtvscrtdll
Still, that's not too clean.
What Windows version do you guys do the CI on ? I'd like to know where crtdll is because it is nowhere to be found on my windows (sub)folders.
And msvcrt is what is installed with the mingw installer specified in the instructions.

I found why the vmVersionInfo.h isn't there...
build.sh contains:
#!bash
if [ ! -e vmVersionInfo.h ]; then ../codegen-scripts/extract-commit-info.sh fi cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" . make
and ../codegen-scripts/extract-commit-info.sh is nowhere to be found
from the git clone...
It lives in scripts/

I've been moving forward with building the VM for Windows from the
GitHub sources with MinGW.
Now, to get the thing to compile, I had to replace the oft_t things by
_oft_t, same for the 64 flavor.
So, modifiying two header files, one being mingw.h where I put #define
oft_t _oft_t at the end.
This did the trick and I now have all plugins/dlls building fine:
FT2Plugin.dll libcairo-2.dll libeay32.dll libfreetype-6.dll libfreetype.dll.a libFT2Plugin.dll.a libpixman-1-0.dll libpng-3.dll libSqueakFFIPrims.dll.a libSqueakSSL.dll.a SqueakFFIPrims.dll SqueakSSL.dll ssleay32.dll zlib1.dll
are in results/
Also, to get there, one has to create a vmVersionInfo.h file in
platforms\Cross\vm with something in the REVISION_STRING
#define REVISION_STRING "Pharo VM - Philippe Back from GitHub Sources
20131119"
I wonder why this isn't something automagically generated in the process
as it seems that the CI build has something.
The last step is getting Pharo.exe to link but this doesn't work:
Linking C executable
/C/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/Philippe/pharo-vm/results/Pharo.exe
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.8.1/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe:
cannot fin
d -lcrtdll collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: ***
[C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/Philippe/pharo-vm/results/Pharo.exe] Error
1 make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Pharo.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2
Looks like a library path is wrong or else.
Idea?
Also, there are quite a number of warnings spit out during the compiling
process all over the place, more than the Mac VM build I think.
e.g.
