Thanks John. I have been trying to follow your steps. They are pretty accurate, however, I had some problems. I hope my newbie problems be of help to update the documentation if required.
1) I had to copy the src generated from VMMaker (which was generated by default in the same directoy where the image is) to svnSqueakTree/
From your comments I think you let also the default src. So, in such case I guess to need to do what I did (copy). I am right ?
In summary: copy /Users/mariano/Pharo/imagenes/Pharo1.0-10508-rc1dev10.01.1/src to /Users/mariano/Pharo/VM/svnSqueakTree/svnSqueakTree
2) In step 6, A) it says "Double-click the SqueakVMUNIXPATHS.xcodeproj file" which one ?? because at that time I have 3 of those files, as the readme previously said to copy that file to the folder where "platforms" and "src" are...So, I have 3 different SqueakVMUNIXPATHS.xcodeproj files.
I used the one of /Users/mariano/Pharo/VM/svnSqueakTree/svnSqueakTree
is this correct ? which should I use ?
3) In step 6, e) it says "From the Project menu pick the active build configuration you want to use."
I noticed that there is an option "set active build configuration" and 3 options: development, deployment and deployment symbols.
3.a) I am intrigued in the differences of those 3. I mean, what is done different in the compilation.
3.b) What is deploymentSymbols ?
3.c) Doing develoment, the VM is 2mb, but doing deployment is 3....is this correct ?? I would expect the development be bigger that deployment
4.d) There is an incredible difference in speed. Development is MUUUUUUCH more slow that production. This takes me to 3.a) ;)
4) No matter the "set active build configuration" I couldn't make FreeType to work. I open an image with TrueType, but I cannot see the fonts...But the plugins are included when building the VM with VMMaker.
Do you now what can be the problem ?
