[Vm-dev] [OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm] How to build on Win32 using WSL/Ubuntu | Missing headers (#510)

[Christoph Thiede]

Hi all,

here are my current results of building the spur versions on Windows, using commit 16ffd5b3c4c6e48968277e40543ca1f96b984473 + patch from https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/issues/498#issuecomment-647189330

- cygwin32/cygwin64 for `build.win32x86`:
  ```console
  $ ./mvm -f
  <lots of output with exit code zero>
  $ ./build/vm/SqueakConsole ..\relative\path\to\valid\squeak.image
  Could not open the Squeak image file <C:\absolute\path\to\valid\squeak.image>
  <...>
  Aborting...
  Smalltalk stack dump:
  <end of output>
  ```
- cygwin32 for `build.win64x64`:
  ```console
  $ ./mvm -f
  <lots of output with exit code zero>
  $ ./build/vm/SqueakConsole ..\relative\path\to\valid\squeak.image
  <no output>
  ```
- cygwin64 for `build.win64x64`:
  ```console
  $ ./mvm -f
  <less but still a lot of output>
  rm: cannot remove 'build/vm/ADPCMCodecPlugin.lib': No such file or directory
  make[1]: [/cygdrive/c/Users/Christoph/OneDrive/Dokumente/Squeak/Christoph/git/opensmalltalk-vm/build.win64x64/common/Makefile.plugin:139: build/vm/ADPCMCodecPlugin.lib] Error 1 (ignored)
  x86_64-w64-mingw32-ar rc build/vm/ADPCMCodecPlugin.lib build/ADPCMCodecPlugin/ADPCMCodecPlugin.o
  make[1]: x86_64-w64-mingw32-ar: No such file or directory
  make[1]: *** [/cygdrive/c/Users/Christoph/OneDrive/Dokumente/Squeak/Christoph/git/opensmalltalk- vm/build.win64x64/common/Makefile.plugin:140: build/vm/ADPCMCodecPlugin.lib] Error 127
  make[1]: Leaving directory „/cygdrive/c/Users/Christoph/OneDrive/Dokumente/Squeak/Christoph/git/opensmalltalk- vm/build.win64x64/squeak.cog.spur“
  make: *** [../common/Makefile:271: build/vm/ADPCMCodecPlugin.lib] Error 2
  <exit code nonzero>
  ```

Additional notes:
- When I run `SqueakConsole.exe` from Cygwin, the output listed above is appended by a "Segmentation fault" line. When run in PowerShell, this line is not displayed, but everything else looks identically.
- Running `Squeak.exe` (without "Console") did not work better, but as is known does not log errors to the console.
- Despite I passed the image path to the executable, I have to choose it manually in a dialog.
- Same problems when using `squeak.stack.spur` instead of `squeak.cog.spur`. So this is not a JIT problem (is this correct?).

If anyone succeeds to build, we should really encapsulate the necessary tech stack. I believe this could make things really easier ... 😅
