How to compile Spur VM in Windows?

Hello

I am trying to compile Spur VM in Windows 8.1.

As far as I understand Spur VM needs the Pharo 5.0 image format, is that right?

Apparently instructions here https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm/blob/master/README-Win32-fasttrack.md are only applicable to "Old VM" in Pharo 3.0

Does anyone have any idea how to clone/compile the Spur VM (i.e. Pharo 5.0) ?

Cheers,

Hernán

Hi Hernán,

does this help: http://forum.world.st/vm-build-environment-on-windows-td4854659.html

It's fairly recent. :)

Best,

It does applies to Pharo VM? because check-out is from Squeak VM

http://www.mirandabanda.org/cogblog/compiling-the-vm/ : "These instructions apply to the Cog branch of the Squeak VM project, and don’t yet include the Pharo VM build instructions."

Hola Esteban :)

As suggested, I am using sources from https://ci.inria.fr/pharo/view/VM/job/PharoVM/Architecture=32,Slave=vm-builder-win/

I have some questions:

1) The sources.tgz file in CI already includes the generated C code (in src/ directories) and CMake files (in build/ directories) ? So for checking the build it would not be necessary to evaluate "PharoVMBuilder buildWin32".

2) Just out of curiosity, VMMakerTool is usable these days?

3) I evaluated : PharoVMBuilder buildWin32. and received a lot of warnings (conflicting return types, undeclareds, etc) in Transcript - attached - Is this expected or should I try to update PharoVMMaker? And if so, from where?

btw you might be able to build SpurVM using an old non-spur Pharo 5.0 image… not sure, but I do not see a reason why you couldn’t :)

because I still do not merge with master
instructions should work, but right now you WILL NOT be able to build a VM, because there is a bug in OpalCompiler who prevents building the VM in spur images… and probably there are other issues, I couldn’t test further.

So I would say you need to wait until I can restore the builds here: https://ci.inria.fr/pharo/view/5.0-VM-Spur/job/PharoVM-spur32/

(it’s been almost one month since I cannot build :( )

I never built the VM using those sources, so I don’t know how it will go.

In general, I think what you say is ok.

2) Just out of curiosity, VMMakerTool is usable these days?

Nope, we use CMakeMaker (could work, never tried).

3) I evaluated : PharoVMBuilder buildWin32. and received a lot of warnings (conflicting return types, undeclareds, etc) in Transcript - attached - Is this expected or should I try to update PharoVMMaker? And if so, from where?

I think you are “safe to go” with those warnings. I should review them, though.
