probably a mistake. platforms dir should also be configurable. and it
should use it if it set.

Yes, it was designed to work like that. Sure not well tested, because
most of the times it is used by taking defaults :)

Thanks, Mariano.
I will take a look. But you just upload it there, and if it works i
will just put it in use.

Best regards,
Igor Stasenko AKA sig.

Hi Igor. I was thinking a couple of things:

1) So...once I hace download anything from GIT, what I always need to do is:
a) take a pharo core 1.3
b) open the LoadVMMaker.st  so that I can see which versions of metacello and cmake I need.
c) evaluate that over the pharo image
d) move my image to /build  so that it finds the /src and /platform by default

So...I wonder what are the reason of not having such PharoCore image already commited in GIT under /image.  You can even save it with a workspace opened with the code of LoadVMMaker.st
is it just the size of it?

If I want to do it for myself, what is the best strategy?  clone to my own fork, add the image there and then just pull the changes?

2) #prepareVMMaker does this:

prepareVMMaker

    | maker allPlugins |
   
    maker := VMMaker forPlatform: 'Cross'.
    maker sourceDirectoryName: (self srcDir assureExistence fullName).
    maker platformRootDirectoryName: (self topDir / 'platforms' ) fullName.
   
And

srcDir
    "Answer the value of srcDir"

    ^ srcDir ifNil: [ srcDir := self topDir / 'src' ]

This is cool because I can script the cong to use another src. But you don't do the same for 'platform'. So I cannot do:

CogDebugMacOSConfig  new
    srcDir: 'myFolder';
 platformsDir: 'myPlatofrm';
     generateSources;
    generate.

Since the platform directory will be overwritten.



Cheers

Mariano
