Problem building VMMaker-dtl.116 on Windows

 
The method Interpreter>>primitiveBeCursor was modified with the
signature: "eem 2/18/2009 09:01" to call ioSetCursorARGB which
doesn't exist in the latest Windows source files.

I worked around it by reverting primitiveBeCursor to the version
"di 7/4/2004 08:41".

This is from Mantis 7224 "Add big cursor support to the VM", which was added
for OLPC support (as of VMMaker-dtl.108, so not related to Eliot's closure
support updates). From the Mantis report:

  The required platform support code is already in place for unix and Mac OS.
  Implementations of ioSetCursorARGB() will be required for win32 and RiscOS
  (in win32/vm/sqWin32Window.c and RiscOS/vm/sqRPCWindows.c respectively).

Andreas, is this something that you can add to the Windows platform support?

Thanks,

Dave

Yes I can, for now just stub it out (I don't think it's used, is it?).

Cheers,

Thanks. No, it does not seem to be used normally, so it is not an
urgent change.

Only when you run the OLPC image, so far. But once it was implemented  
on Windows, too, people might want to start using it for nicer  
cursors :)
