Hi, there! ---
As Cygwin seems to be not offering gcc-v3 mirrors anymore, here is a step-by-step tutorial to build the CogVM for Windows 7 machines (and later, I suppose) using MSYS:
1. Install the "MinGW Package Download and Installation Tool"
http://www.mingw.org http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Installer/
! Remember your installation path, e.g. C:\MinGW 2. Run it and install the following classified under "Basic Setup":
msys-base mingw32-base
3. Run MSYS and setup PATH variable:
EITHER make /mingw/bin accessible (e.g. add symbolic link to /c/MinGW) OR add /c/MinGW/bin to PATH (=> my choice)
4. Install or downgrade the following packages via MSYS (close the MinGW installation tool first). If you downgrade, you may have to uninstall the current version first:
DOWN: mingw32-binutils 2.22-1 (fix windres.exe behavior) NEW: mingw32-gcc-v3-core 3.4.5-20060117-3 NEW: mingw32-gcc-v3-g++ 3.4.5-20060117-3 DOWN: mingw32-mingwrt 3.20-2 (needed for linking gcc-v3 object files) DOWN: mingw32-w32api 3.17-2 (needed for linking gcc-v3 object files)
! MSYS command example: "mingw-get --install reinstall binutils=2.22-1" 5. Checkout SVN repository with CogVM source
! Remember your checkout path, e.g. C:\Tools\cogvm 6. Adapt /c/Tools/cogvm/cygwinbuild/Makefile
Adapt -L option for LDFLAGS and CONSOLELDFLAGS to your MSYS environment Maybe exchange --export-dynamic with --export-all-symbols
7. Adapt /c/Tools/cogvm/cygwinbuild/plugins.ext
Remove BochsIA32Plugin because it will not build
8. Adapt /c/Tools/cogvm/cygwinbuild/Squeak.rc if needed, e.g.:
Use custom icons and descriptions to identify your build artifact
later on :) 9. Run the script ./c/Tools/cogvm/cygwinbuild/mvm
chmod +x it if needed
It should build fine with the results added to cygwinbuild/build*.
Best, Marcel
