[Vm-dev] Cannot build Cog from the "blessed" repo at Gitorious

[Dimitry Golubovsky]

Hi,

I am trying to buid Cog from scratch.

I use a clone of the repo at https://gitorious.org/cogvm/blessed (I
cloned it on July 1st, after the last push was recorded, so my clone
is identical to the original).

I executed buildImage.sh in codegen-scripts, and then generate.sh in
the same location. The SLANG parts were fetched and sources generated.

I followed the instructions in
/src/cogvm/dmg-blessed/unixbuild/HowToBuild, configured the VM like
this (the first eonfig example in that file):

../../platforms/unix/config/configure --without-vm-display-fbdev \
      --without-npsqueak \
      CFLAGS="-g -O2 -msse2 -D_GNU_SOURCE -DNDEBUG
-DITIMER_HEARTBEAT=1 -DNO_VM_PROFILE=1 -DCOGMTVM=
      LIBS=-lpthread

Then ran make

Everything compiled fine, but at the linking stage I got:

gcc -g -O2 -msse2 -D_GNU_SOURCE -DNDEBUG -DITIMER_HEARTBEAT=1
-DNO_VM_PROFILE=1 -DCOGMTVM=0 -DDEBUGVM=0 -msse -DLSB_FIRST=1 -o

I googled for this message; it seems to be already discussed as of
beginning of June 2011 e. g. in this thread.

http://answerpot.com/showthread.php?2626868-r2384+-+Various+reorganizations+to+support+the+Newspeak+VM.

Is this something I just have to wait to be fixed, or is there any
workaround, e. g. use a different ConfigurationOfCog?

Thanks.
