[Vm-dev] Re: Tools to Build Cog on Win32

[Rob Rothwell]

I have a good [rough draft] start on very detailed (too detailed?) steps to
properly install Cygwin and build the Cog VM on Windows.  I just need to add
preparing the image for first time use, etc...:

http://book.pharo-project.org/book/Virtual-Machine/Building/BuildVMOnWindows/BuildCogVMOnWindows/

(I haven't started editing/revising yet).

Anyway, if anyone could help me properly position my two topics, "Cog VM"
and "Traditional (Squeak) VM" underneath "The MS-Windows way," I would
greatly appreciated it.  Although they are subsections, they are fully
"unindented" like a chapter in the table of contents...

Thank you,

Rob
