What does "generator.image" contain?

and does anyone have a reference document or suggested location in "the blue book" where I can find object formatting information?

Hi,

I have spotted this in the VM mailing list (I only read it via web occasionally these days, so please cc me for faster response if there is a problem, or file an issue in the squeakvm-tablet project).

Here are the instructions (still inexact, but someone followed them, and succeeded).

# clone the repo

git clone https://git.gitorious.org/~golubovsky/cogvm/dmg-blessed.git

# go to the build scripts directory

cd <repo/root>/codegen-scripts

# create the base Pharo image

export SQUEAKVM=<path/to/precompiled/squeak/vm/executable>; sh ./buildImage.sh -headless

# make sure there is no PharoDebug.log in <repo/root>/build, and there is generator.image (or there may be PharoDebug.log containing unrelated warnings, e. g. about AbstractLauncher - use -nosound instead of -headless if you would like to inspect the problem)

# generate the VM and plugins from VMMaker

sh ./generate.sh -headless StackEvtAndroidConfig

# build the native VM

cd <repo/root>/platforms/android/project

./ndk-build

This only builds the native VM. It is now librarified: to build actual Android project, see under <repo/root>/platforms/android/derived/generic - this should build an actual apk

ant clean && ant debug   (reference to the native library is already in project.properties)

PS Some time ago I requested access to Jenkins to allow me set up Cogdroid build jobs - has there been any progress?

Thanks.

Dmitry,

The updated build instructions are greatly appreciated. I had figured out enough to get a working vm, but these instructions make the process simpler than what I went through. I'm working on a few modifications that might be of interest to other Android users when they're done... is email a good way to submit patches for review? Also, are you looking to keep CogDroid running on as many versions of Android as possible or would 3.x+ specific (phone and tablet) mods be of interest?

Thanks, Phil
