Joys of Squeak-dev image, VM Compiling on MacIntel and Spoon remote OtherBrowsing

 
MacPro OS X 10.4.9
Xcode 2.4.1
Squeak-dev-114-2, VMMaker 2.8b6.1, Squeak 3.8.15beta6U.app, and version 1657 of svn MacOS VM sources, and Spoon v2a12.

Downloaded http://www.squeakvm.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ trunk version 1657 for MacOS

Ran squeak-dev-beta-114-2.image on Squeak 3.8.15beta6U.app

Loaded VMMaker 3.8b6.1 from dev image Universes.

Generated vm sources by following instructions in
<http://www.squeakvm.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/trunk/platforms/Mac%20OS/vm/Documentation/readme?rev=1657&view=auto>

Fought with Xcode wanting to use MacOSX10.3.9.sdk for ppc which was giving an error which was known and documented in the Readme.
Finally figured out what Xcode wanted so built universal app just using 10.4.9 sdk.

Couple issues:

Exupery references remain in sqnamedPrims.h and sqPlatformSpecific.h from svn version 1657, I just commented them out.

Notes said:
Info-NPSqueak__Upgraded_.plist was to be found in the Developer directory.
I could not find it so scammed a info.plist out of John's Squeak 3.8.15beta6U.app vm. Not sure what impact this has.

And much, much diddling about figuring out various things...

Finally got a build.  It's a lot smaller (3.9MB) than John McIntosh's Squeak 3.8.15beta6U.app (8.1MB), and it looks like it is a PowerPC one but at least it runs. I'll look into the Xcode build process some more.

Then:

Replaced interp.c with Craig's interp.c for Spoon, rebuilt and got a VM with Spoon client stuff.

Downloaded Spoon release 2a12.

Moved a copy of Flow plugin from within Craig's naiad.app package into a plugins subdirectory where the new spoon client compatible MacIntel universal VM was run from. Followed Craig's Spoon instructions for loading niaid.st and niaid.pr into the 3.10 image (Squeak-dev-114-2) running on the new VM.

Did the run spoon.app thing from Spoon.dmg (version 2a12), needs to be done twice if Safari is not running. Got Spoon processor running.

Followed instructions again in the Spoon client and lo! Got OtherBrowser browsing the Spoon memory running on processor.

Yay Craig!

Not bad. You certainly qualify. Tell me where to send it to :)

It should be a universal one, it's smaller because you are missing  
the plugin bundles, those add the extra 5MB.
Look in the resource folder on a production VM for them. If you're  
having fun here with bundling you could ensure we can build all the  
plugins
from the source tree, I doubt anyone has ever done that...

In Activity Monitor it shows up as a PowerPC app, I'm not sure how to get it to do Intel.
Any tips where to start looking?

Other plugins you would need to track down that are in the prod  
release are

CroquetPlugin (Croquet)
FloatMathPlugin  (Croquet)
FT2Plugin   (Sophie)
LocalePlugin
PrintJobPlugin
QuicktimePlugin (Sophie)
ServicesPlugin
SpellingPlugin (Sophie)


I *think* all the source for these are in the platforms directory  
somewhere, mind who has ever checked?


Other that are in the tree but not in the build are:

CurlPlugin
KedamaPlugin
OpenALPlugin
SerialExtendedPlugin
UnixOSProcessPlugin

Others floating about

SqueakDESPlugin
SqueakTiffPlugin  (old, no interest from community for it?)

I usually do this before building the deployment copy just to ensure  
everything is what I expect, sometimes XCode just forgets to compile  
something
after many edit session in Development configuration mode and then  
switching to Deployment.

If you compile with the build configuration development you only get  
the powerPC flavor. Well you'll get the MacIntel flavor once I check  
in the 3.8.17 version.
If you compile with the build configuration deployment you get a  
universal VM (powerpc and macintel)  use getInfo on the app or lipo  
cmd to see what the binary thinks

I see a bunch of likely looking suspects in the source trees. For example Croquet folder gets generated by VMMaker but  is missing in the final.
How to incorporate the missing ones? Well, I'll look into it.

Yeah, that'd do it, I only used the Development config.
I just tried the Deployment and I see mysterious errors. I shouda quit for the day on a high point! :)
Oh well, enough for now, will look tomorrow.

     I'll sign it! And I'll even do it in less than three and a half
years. ;)

Yay!
I see you are catching up from 2007.
In any case, how do we go about it? Electronic is fine with me.
Or if too much trouble, don't worry about it, the offer alone is good enough for me. Thx!

Ken
