Seriously? You mean that if I drop the stuff from

If that's actually true, I'm sold :-)
I'll try it tonight.
It's possible that it actually *is* true. This is exactly what CMake
was designed to do (hence the name, "Cross-platform Make").
Not much success. I tried running CMake naively and was instantly greeted with the recommendation to run cmake/configure. Which of course is a shell script so needs to be run from Cygwin.
Sorry about that. When I wrote my patches, I was using MinGW on Linux or on Windows with MSYS, so a shell was easier to use. I didn't consider MSVC at that time. I can fix it and not require a shell.
When I do that (after some fiddling with --src and --generator) it complains that the win32 directory doesn't have a CMakeLists.txt:
$ ../platforms/win32/cmake/configure --src=./src/ --generator="Visual Studio 10"
-- Configuring squeak for i686-pc-cygwin
-- Using source directory /cygdrive/c/SqueakVM/cmake-test/winbuild/src
-- Using generator Visual Studio 10
../platforms/win32 -DVM_HOST=i686-pc-cygwin -DPLATFORM_SOURCE_VERSION= -DVM_VERSION= -DOPT--src=/cygdrive/c/SqueakVM/cmake-test/winbuild/src
CMake Error: The source directory "C:/SqueakVM/cmake-test/platforms/win32" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
Which is correct, but I don't see a CMakeLists.txt in the patches. So I'm at a loss at this point. Geoffrey, any instructions?
That's weird. IIRC, the file platforms/CMakeLists.txt file exists, and it shouldn't look for that file in platforms/win32. I'll fix the configure script this evening.
