Hi vm-dev,
As suggested on the squeak-dev mailing list, I should ask questions about porting on this list. As this list is still new, I hope there are people listening. :)
My first problem. Getting to the ports source on subversion. I downloaded tortoise SVN and tried to do a SVN checkout on the location http://squeak.hpl.hp.com/svn/squeak/trunk
At two locations I got the response REPORT request failed on '/svn/squeak/!svn/vcc/default' REPORT of '/svn/squeak/!svn/vcc/default': 400 Bad Request (http://squeak.hpl.hp.com)
Anyone suggest anything I might be doing wrong? Either both my ISPs don't have very badly configured smart proxies or I'm doing something wrong. I suspect the later. If it is my ISPs, anyone have a snapshort archive I can use?
I'm attempting to checkout to the location c:\squeak\src which I think is where VMMaker wants it?
Thanks for any help, David.
Hi David and all!

Well, I am at least. :)

Just did such a checkout and it worked fine. I have no proxies etc, your issue is most probably this:

Sure, I can fix one for you if all else fails. Mail me privately in that case.

VMMaker tool can be told where the src tree is.
Thanks for any help, David.

Hi Goran,
Great to see atleast two people on the list. It seems both my ISPs are catching all HTTP requests. I noticed that one way around this was to use SSL via HTTPS, but it doesn't seem the server is configured for this. Another way was via port 81 but that doesn't seem to be activated either? Can anyeone confirm both of these?
If you can supply a snapshot that would be great. Its really just so I can get some examples of how to go about a port.
Thanks, David.

You could use a webcrawler to download the source. Assuming you are on a unix-like system, try
wget -r -np http://squeak.hpl.hp.com/svn/squeak/trunk/
(for me, reconfiguring my router's proxy allowed the checkout to work just fine)

First, thanks Bert, the webcrawler solution worked like a charm. :) Now the fun starts.
The first really basic question about VMMaker. Should the path to generated sources overlap with the platforms code? Currently I have it pointing to another location, but don't understand what gets copied from the platform tree. There seems to be some hidden magic I'm not seeing.
I've setup a new directory with the following structure:
c:\squeak\src\platforms\ps2
\misc\ToCopy Makefile Makefile.pref \plugins -- nothing here yet -- \vm sq.h sqConfig.h sqNamedPrims.c sqPlatformSpecific.c sqPlatformSpecific.h sqPs2Exports.c sqPs2Main.c sqVirtualMachine.c sqVirtualMachine.h
My makefile and its preferences get copied correctly, but the vm files don't. Should the makefile simply refer back to the source tree, or is another technique used? Once I get this sorted out I will commit the file to my CVS so people can see my progress.
So far, with the above files all manually copied to the output directory, and all the required functions stubbed out, I can compile an executable.
Thanks, David.

The build process always has three directories:
./src/* ./platforms/*
and ./bld.
My usual sequence for making a unix VM is to do (in my newly created build directory)
../platforms/unix/config/configure ; make
Anyway, my own VM question is wheather anyone has bothered to document the unix display plugins?
I know that Ian's refactoring changed alot of stuff for the better but he never documented how one goes about designing and writing one...
I ask because I wanted to try out different display libraries such as SDL..
