CogVM on the Mac

I'm thrilled to hear a Cog VM for Mac is in the offing.

I played with stuff to try and bake my own, but it was quickly clear that I wasn't in Kansas anymore. Curse you KlattSynthesizerPlugin !

Actually... I guess because the Mac VM does not have a Klatt plugin in its collection of compiled plugins, it was never going to work anyway. I think the Unix VM has a Klatt... maybe I should try baking a Cog on Ubuntu... hmmm... I'll fail, but nothing lasts forever. :)

are you sure? If I look in the Cog sources http://www.squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/branches/Cog I find src/plugins/Klatt/Klatt.c and that all sqNamedPrims.h files specify the plugin:

cygwinbuild/sqNamedPrims.h:extern sqExport Klatt_exports[];

cygwinbuild/sqNamedPrims.h: Klatt_exports,

macbuild/sqNamedPrims.h:extern sqExport Klatt_exports[];

macbuild/sqNamedPrims.h: Klatt_exports,

unixbuild/bld/plugins.int:Klatt \

So if you're doing a standard build (see macbuild/HowToBuild) and you're trying something that flat out won't work like using the standard Squeak VM's platforms directory then all Cog VMs should include a Klatt plugin in the internal plugins set.

Wow. Have I been looking in the wrong place.

I've been downloading trunk build files from svn listed on the squeakvm.org/unix pages, but *sigh* I didn't see the trove of stuff you just pointed out. And there are specific instructions for Mac and Unix builds. This is what I should be looking at. Thank you for pointing there.

For folks' convenience I've just put up some unofficial builds (essentially the same builds I use for testing) under http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM
