Building on Windows XP

Hi all again,

I'm trying to build GST on Windows under Cygwin and Mingw/MSYS, but I
get this error:

The problem is thath I don't know how to install it or compile it. I'm

InfoZIP is just the set of zip/unzip tools that are used under Unix to
manage .zip files.  Get it from
ftp://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/tools/zip/info-zip/WIN32/zip232xN.zip
(file zip.exe in that archive).

Ok, now compiled and run, but seems only work from MSYS. I will try from
cygwin too.

If I run the GST.exe located on the root sources from a windows shell,
nothings happen.

E:\Desarrollo\GST\smalltalk-3.0b>gst.exe

E:\Desarrollo\GST\smalltalk-3.0b>gst-tool.exe

E:\Desarrollo\GST\smalltalk-3.0b>


Sorry for my doubts Paolo, but I need this on Windows Box to try at
work, and as I said, I don't have experience doing this out of a Linux
Box and APT :P

so, launching from MSYS works but not from cmd.exe?  Interesting. :-)

No problem.  These are bugs not doubts. :-)

Have you tried under MacOS?

Yes. I executed gst in the MSYS prompt, and goes to a blank line. I did
it "2+2 inspect."

If I do it from cmd, a blank line appear, but the prompt appear again.
And no response from parameters like -v

I did a make clean, and compiled again. The "make check" works until
intmath.st, and then freeze. I cancelled after 4 minutes aprox.

Not yet. MacOS is my personal Laptop, and is at home now. I will try it
later, but, I searched the web of macports, and gnu-smalltalk is not
there (or the web is doing something wrong)

Can you try running scripts at least, for example

  echo 2 printNl > testscript.st
  gst testscript.st

The problem might be in the interface to the Windows console.  Don't
know for real though, I guess I really have to find someone who lends me
a Windows machine for a while...

That's not a problem.  You are using Smalltalk LargeIntegers (not
primitives) and that's very slow.  Don't worry about that.

Hi Giuseppe,

Can you tell me what packages you installed to compile with MinGW? I installed
"Automated MinGW Installer" but I can't find MSYS. And I cannot find any
installer on SourceForge.net page for MSYS? Also tell me please if you achieve
to compile it with Cygwin because I get errors with it.

Hi Canol.

MingW32 is the latest automated installer. Msys, is 1.0.10, because
1.0.11 doesn't have installer yet. For this reason you don't find it.

On SF.net, in Msys package, see the previous for the the last version.

Cheers.

UI think the make clean didn't work because was generated from mingw or
something like this, because doing all from Cygwin I can make clean.


I copied again de sources files and ./configure and make, from CygWin

I get the same error with Cygwin. I am now trying to build with MinGW thanks to
you :)

Ok, I compiled it with MinGW and it works. Could you manage to run gst-blox user
interface?

I'm thinking thath most probable is thath gst-blox is not running
because TCL is not in Msys.

Why I get only an unix exec for gst, but a .exe for all the applications
(but doesn't run)

I don't understand this, can you try Spanish?

You don't have Tcl/Tk installed, neither in MSys nor in Cygwin.  That's
why gst-blox is not working.

> Why I get only an unix exec for gst, but a .exe for all the applications

You should get all of these:

    gst.exe
    gst-load.exe
    gst-reload.exe
    gst-sunit.exe
    gst-blox.exe
    gst-package.exe
    gst-remote.exe

Can you try gst-sunit, for example "gst-sunit -p SUnit", from a MSys
shell and/or from cmd.exe?

Hi again,

Well, more info.

I got 2 exe files. gst.exe and gst-tool.exe but, I noticed thath when I
wrote gst and press TAB, I saw all the files, and started to search.

I don't know how (previous make install or something similar?), but in
C:\msys\1.0\local\bin I have all the executables.

 From there, on Windows shell, I cant start GST with gst.exe, but is
curious. I can start it, If I don't put the extension.

I want say...I can do
C:\msys\1.0\local\bin\gst-blox

but don't
C:\msys\1.0\local\bin\gst-blox.exe

If I add exe extension, then a blank line appear and again the shell prompt.

I will paste the output of all exe files. I ran -h parameter when no output.

We are close to a solution for the windows binaries? :D

If I have force, because I have Windows too on my MacBook laptop, I will
do more tests.

I hope I'm not collapsing the list. Sorry if so.

Yes, because the build directory only has "gst.exe" and "gst-tool.exe",
but the installation has all the tools as separate executables.  They
are actually the same program as "gst-tool.exe", but they look at their
executable name so they behave differently.

Interesting.  I'll try to figure out how.

Can you also say "gst" but not "gst.exe"?

I think I know what's happening.  You don't have getpid on Windows, I guess.

Yeah.

I think it's just more complicated to setup because (on Windows) you're
not used to compiling from source.  But overall it doesn't seem too bad
a shape.

I honestly don't know.

I can't understand, I'm building from source.

Ok, doesn't matter. Could be good a web forum on gnu smalltalk web. Is
