Tools to Build Cog on Win32

Is there some way to package the tools required to build Cog similar to the Squeak-Win32-Tools package that is available for the standard Squeak VM?

I just don't seem to be savvy enough to choose all the proper cygwin options.  I DID manage to get subversion loaded in cygwin and check out the sources, but I am sure I am doing the wrong thing by installing the 1.7.5 version of cygwin since HowToBuild references 1.5.24.  Plus, I just can't seem to get the right gcc...I keep getting "gcc: The -mno-cygwin flag has been removed; use a mingq-targeted cross-compiler," and I just can't seem to get the right installation options selected in the "Devel" section.

So...either a prebuilt bundle or very specific instructions for mere mortals would be very helpful!  It would be nice to keep up with the fixes; this VM made a HUGE difference in some Binaural Beat generation code I have that writes very large audio files.  I can actually fork the code now and keep using the image with very good responsiveness!  Amazing!

Thanks for any help,

Rob

 
Disregard!  I have found the magic incantation and even got Pharo 1.1  running in a VM compiled on my own!

I will try to type up the formula for others to follow in terms of installing cygwin and the required tools.

Thank you,

Rob

I have a good [rough draft] start on very detailed (too detailed?) steps to properly install Cygwin and build the Cog VM on Windows.  I just need to add preparing the image for first time use, etc...:

http://book.pharo-project.org/book/Virtual-Machine/Building/BuildVMOnWindows/BuildCogVMOnWindows/

(I haven't started editing/revising yet).

Anyway, if anyone could help me properly position my two topics, "Cog VM" and "Traditional (Squeak) VM" underneath "The MS-Windows way," I would greatly appreciated it.  Although they are subsections, they are fully "unindented" like a chapter in the table of contents...

Thank you,

Rob

It seems someone has done it ... Anyway, to move a page, click on the 'Move' link in the command line and the choose the parent section.

This is really great!   I am glad to have created an user for you :)

 
Yes, and there's another problem too. When you try to change the order of a group of sections it *seems* to do it but then you hit refresh and nothing has changed at all.

Regards,

            Javier.

The section is right, but on the table of contents, it looks like this:

2.0  Virtual-Machine
2.1      Building
2.1.1         The GNU/Linux way
2.1.2         The Mac OSX way
2.1.3         The MS-Windows way
2.1.3.1 Cog VM
2.1.3.2 Traditional (Squeak) VM
2.1.4         VMMaker

Instead of this:

2.0  Virtual-Machine
2.1      Building
2.1.1         The GNU/Linux way
2.1.2         The Mac OSX way
2.1.3         The MS-Windows way
2.1.3.1             Cog VM
2.1.3.2             Traditional (Squeak) VM
2.1.4         VMMaker

(See attached graphic)

I also have some "lost diagrams" that I do not know how to get back to--I know I created something incorrectly and it is "in the system" somewhere, but I don't know how to find it and delete it...

Thanks,

Rob
