Dear Stephane, all

did you check all the work that igor and esteban did to make sure that all the vms can compile automatically on the build servers?
No I did check not, but I am actually aware that the Pharo community has spend quite an effort to automatize the VM building process. Kudos to you, Igor, Esteban, Mariano and whoever helped to make that work. I know that the Pharo-flavour of Squeak by default includes Native Boost and constantly tries to sync with Eliot's VMMaker.oscog
So let me try to summarize all existing VM building systems NOT including what goes on in the VMMaker* packages.
• squeak-vm trunk (http://squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/trunk/platforms/): win32: MYSY/MinGW, hand-written ./configure, hand-written templated Makefile unix: CMake, host-compiler (mostly GCC 4) Ian's comment: # Yes, it's true: you can write makefiles in COBOL. carbon (alias Mac OS): Xcode, Errors by default to not be used cocoa (alias iOS, for iPhone/OSX): Xcode RiscOS: Hand-written MakeFile (is this right, Tim?) • squeak-vm/stack-vm/Newspeak-vm cog branch (http://squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/branches/Cog/): win32: cygwin, gcc3, hand-written Makefile, ./mvm shell script osx (using carbon): Xcode, gcc4, clang partly (llvm-gcc?), ./mvm shell script wrapper, ./makevm shell script wrapper unix: autoconf/automake, gcc RiscOS: ? • gitorious-hosted cog-vm (https://gitorious.org/cogvm/blessed) [1] win32: CMake, using MSYS/MinGW osx: CMake, Xcode llvm-gcc not supported, seems to be based on the iOS/cocoa branch unix: CMake, gcc. Cmake-files generated by CMakeVMMaker. clones, use same build system: • pharo-vm (https://gitorious.org/cogvm/pharovm) • oz-vm ((https://gitorious.org/cogvm/ozvm)
That makes, by my counting, 8 distinct build systems. Note that the CMake source for trunk-unix differs from the gitorious hosted one; the trunk-unix one is handwritten by Ian, the gitorious one generated by CMakeVMMaker.
Did I forget some?

[1] I think, this is the source you meant, Stephane? PS: The wiki link on http://code.google.com/p/cog/wiki/Guide points nowhere.
