About installing NativeBoost in Linux
 
|
Hi Igor, great news that NativeBoost is available in Linux.
In the installation page, in steps 1 and 2 you specify how to create a plugin/vm . The outcome is the vm for linux with NativeBoost support? Is there a prebuilt vm for linux available? Fernando pd: When would it be available for Mac OSX? How can we help? _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project |

First, you must download the sources and have an image with vmmaker. This is described on http://squeakvm.org/unix/devel.html page. Then you need to download small patch from NB site svn checkout http://nativeboost.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ nativeboost-read-only and copy patched files to unix platform-specific sources. In image with VMMaker, you can load NBInstaller , and then do NBInstaller installPlugin. Before generating VM/plugins source code in vmmaker, don't forget about setting target platform for plugin: NativeBoostPlugin setTargetPlatform: (NativeBoostConstants linux32PlatformId). Now open VMMaker, include NativeBoostPlugin into internal plugins list, and you ready to build a VM. Yes, building VM is somewhat tedious procedure, but once you have everything set up, it don't takes much time anymore. > Is there a prebuilt vm for linux available? > Yes, on my PC :) but i don't know how to package it. > Fernando > > > pd: When would it be available for Mac OSX?

I just added a necessary patch to platforms/Mac OS/sqMacMemory.c in plugin's svn source at google code, which is needed to make plugin execute native code. (Make sure that you building plugin with Mac platform id). The rest of stuff should be done at image level: - create a subclass of NativeBoost, like NativeBoostMac32 and implement missing functionality. You can use NativeBoostLinux32 as a guide to follow. I think that for someone, who knows mac platforms well, it could take maybe a day to make a working port. > > > _______________________________________________ > Pharo-project mailing list > [hidden email] > http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project > -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig. _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project |

I running linux in virtual box, and had a problems with OpenGL, so i had to disable it & exclude everything which using it (B3DAcceleratorPlugin) from build, as well as some other plugins, which for one or another reason didn't worked for me. So, it could be not the same VM you wanna use on your box. :) >> >>> Is there a prebuilt vm for linux available? >>> >> Yes, on my PC :) but i don't know how to package it. >> >>> Fernando >>> >>> >>> pd: When would it be available for Mac OSX?

And once it can run a native code, the rest is a piece of cake :) I can give you detailed explanation, what you should implement/override to complete NB bootstrap on Mac, once you will be ready. > Fernando > >>> >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Pharo-project mailing list >>> [hidden email] >>> http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project >>> >> >> >> >> -- >> Best regards, >> Igor Stasenko AKA sig. >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Pharo-project mailing list >> [hidden email] >> http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project > > > _______________________________________________ > Pharo-project mailing list > [hidden email] > http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project > -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig. _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project |

Not necesary! I found out that using the new ConfigurationOfVMMaker its pretty straightforward, to have a "VMMaker image".
I ran into some problems when running make install, could you please send me the vmmaker configuration file you are using? So i can mimic the plugins configuration that worked for you, and successfully compile the vm.
Ok, will let you know. pd: Maybe this could be useful to put in the native boost installation page , Gofer it squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository' ; package: 'ConfigurationOfVMMaker' ; load (Smalltalk globals classNamed: 'ConfigurationOfVMMaker' ) load. pd: what about doing a ConfigurationOfNativeBoostInstaller? _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project |

I'm still didn't came to the point where i need to use metacello. I did the simplest possible thing: wrote installer script which works ok in Squeak & Pharo. If someone provide a Metacello config , i can add it to repository. One more way of installing it doesn't hurts :) > _______________________________________________ > Pharo-project mailing list > [hidden email] > http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project > -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig. _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project |
