Custom VM with(out) NB

I played with building a custom windows VM last night (setting up
all the tools, ...) to see how well it goes these days.

I generated an own one by subclassing CogWindowsConfig
and got the final executable after building. Still this default
VM did not have NativeBoost.

I used https://gitorious.org/cogvm/blessed which I thought is
the usual source for the Pharo VM for 2.0.

Will I require "NativeBoost-CogPlugin"?

This is not loaded in the generator image which I grabbed using
"newImage.sh" (currently pointing to https://ci.inria.fr/pharo/job/Cog-Git-Tracker/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/vmmaker-image.zip")

Thanks
T.

For pharo vm we're using new configs:
PharoOSXConfig
PharoUnixConfig
PharoWindowsConfig

so if you want to build 'same as pharo' vm but with own
customizations, subclass from one of those.

Can't be. It is there. Just checked.

To generate sources, we now using a simple single entry point:
PharoVMBuilder build.

If you wanna look for details, what configurations it using, check it.
It is plain simple.
