CogDroid VMMaker issues

Hi,

I have spotted this in the VM mailing list (I only read it via web
occasionally these days, so please cc me for faster response if there
is a problem, or file an issue in the squeakvm-tablet project).

Here are the instructions (still inexact, but someone followed them,
and succeeded).

# clone the repo

git clone https://git.gitorious.org/~golubovsky/cogvm/dmg-blessed.git

# go to the build scripts directory

cd <repo/root>/codegen-scripts

# create the base Pharo image

export SQUEAKVM=<path/to/precompiled/squeak/vm/executable>; sh
./buildImage.sh -headless

# make sure there is no PharoDebug.log in <repo/root>/build, and there
is generator.image (or there may be PharoDebug.log containing
unrelated warnings, e. g. about AbstractLauncher - use -nosound
instead of -headless if you would like to inspect the problem)

# generate the VM and plugins from VMMaker

sh ./generate.sh -headless StackEvtAndroidConfig

# build the native VM

cd <repo/root>/platforms/android/project

./ndk-build

This only builds the native VM. It is now librarified: to build actual
Android project, see under
<repo/root>/platforms/android/derived/generic - this should build an
actual apk

ant clean && ant debug (reference to the native library is already
in project.properties)

PS Some time ago I requested access to Jenkins to allow me set up
Cogdroid build jobs - has there been any progress?

Thanks.

Re: CogDroid VMMaker issues

What does "generator.image" contain?

and does anyone have a reference document or suggested location in
"the blue book" where I can find object formatting information?

There is no problem with giving the account, looks like we just forgot.
I will discuss it with Christophe tomorrow.

Dmitry,

The updated build instructions are greatly appreciated. I had figured out enough to get a working vm, but these instructions make the process simpler than what I went through. I'm working on a few modifications that might be of interest to other Android users when they're done... is email a good way to submit patches for review? Also, are you looking to keep CogDroid running on as many versions of Android as possible or would 3.x+ specific (phone and tablet) mods be of interest?

Thanks,
Phil

DrGeo runs fine on from Android 1.x to 4.x series. So far, no
compatibility problem with cogdroid

Re: CogDroid VMMaker issues

Hilaire,

My question was more related to adding features going forward. There are some things I'm thinking of adding that to make CogDroid a better experience on 3.x+ devices but would break compatibility with 2.x and prior. (I'm totally fine if the goal is maximum compatibility with older devices, I just need to know if I should be thinking about contributing mods that would do so or just maintain them for my needs)

Thanks,
Phil

Great.

I think, just fork a repo on Gitorious and use pull request later to
submit changes.

It can run (expected at least) on anything with API >= 4. I just do
not have any newer Android on hand to test. It will be of great
interest to have multitouch events (something I was requested, but
have no capability to test).

Also, widget-based derived VM instances would be also interesting: to
have them coexist on the home screen rather than to be fullscreen.

Thanks for your ideas.
