Thank you Eliot.
Live and learn. Althought I have yet to generate new Cog source from VMMaker, it is good to know I can compile and run it when I get that figured out. (:
It appears I was building existing source code for the Cog VM that came with the svn checkout.
I guess the next thing is to tell the configure script to use the Stack VM src that I did generate with VMMaker in oscogvm/stacksrc/
ok..I added these two flags to the configure --with-src=stacksrc --enable-cogit=false
and got a build error..
/home/wm/usr/src/smalltalk/buildStackInterpreter/oscogvm/stacksrc/vm/gcc3x-interp.c:10108: undefined reference to `minLargeHeaderSize'
/home/wm/usr/src/smalltalk/buildStackInterpreter/oscogvm/stacksrc/vm/gcc3x-interp.c:10109: undefined reference to `sizeHeaderputBodySize'
/home/wm/usr/src/smalltalk/buildStackInterpreter/oscogvm/stacksrc/vm/gcc3x-interp.c:10180: undefined reference to `sizeHeaderputBodySize
Which tells me it is looking in the correct place to build.
Sound about right?
cordially,
tty

After a hiatus in PHP land, I am back to Squeak Land and lo and behold, the Stack Interpreter 32 bit compiled and runs the 4.6 image.
You've compiled a Cog VM. Let me take you through the version output:
That is if what you see below is in fact the Stack Interpreter.
Please let me know if it is not

Croquet Closure Cog VM [CoInterpreter VMMaker.oscog-eem.641]
^^ the CoInterpreter in the above is the interpreter class. If it was a Stack VM it would say StackInterpreter.

Likewise these two are the names and package version for the interpreter and JIT classes.
Here's what a (Spur) Stack VM looks like on the Mac:
/Users/eliot/Cog/oscogvm/spurstackbuild/macbuild/Fast.app/Contents/MacOS/Squeak

Plugins: r2545 http://squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/trunk/platforms/Cross/plugins
The above gets printed by supplying the -version option to the VM.
If so, then we have a second data point of building a Stack Interpreter on a 64 bit machine with 32 bit compat libs.
file squeak
squeak: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
An interesting point of note is of note is that I was getting ready to debug a vm that would not run.
It was built with this configure command.
../../../platforms/unix/config/configure CC="gcc -m32" CXX="g++ -m32" --without-npsqueak CFLAGS="-g -O2 -msse2 -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DNDEBUG -DITIMER_HEARTBEAT=1 -DNO_VM_PROFILE=1 -DCOGMTVM=0 -DDEBUGVM=0" LIBS=-lpthread --x-libraries=/usr/lib --prefix=/home/tty/usr/local/stackVM32
and the result was a vm that built, but would hang waiting on what I believed was a signal.
Setting out to debug this non-running vm, I changed to -O2 flag to -Og which rhymes with 'd' and that spells "debugging".
../../../platforms/unix/config/configure CC="gcc -m32" CXX="g++ -m32" --without-npsqueak CFLAGS="-g -Og -msse2 -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DNDEBUG -DITIMER_HEARTBEAT=1 -DNO_VM_PROFILE=1 -DCOGMTVM=0 -DDEBUGVM=0" LIBS=-lpthread --x-libraries=/usr/lib --prefix=/home/tty/usr/local/stackVM32
And, lo and behold, no more trouble in River City. It ran.
