Ok!

(I can even describe the standard VM, having thought that technique might work as well...)

Take care,

Rob

I will try to type up the formula for others to follow in terms of installing cygwin and the required tools.

Thank you,

Is there some way to package the tools required to build Cog similar to the Squeak-Win32-Tools package that is available for the standard Squeak VM?

I just don't seem to be savvy enough to choose all the proper cygwin options. I DID manage to get subversion loaded in cygwin and check out the sources, but I am sure I am doing the wrong thing by installing the 1.7.5 version of cygwin since HowToBuild references 1.5.24. Plus, I just can't seem to get the right gcc...I keep getting "gcc: The -mno-cygwin flag has been removed; use a mingq-targeted cross-compiler," and I just can't seem to get the right installation options selected in the "Devel" section.

So...either a prebuilt bundle or very specific instructions for mere mortals would be very helpful! It would be nice to keep up with the fixes; this VM made a HUGE difference in some Binaural Beat generation code I have that writes very large audio files. I can actually fork the code now and keep using the image with very good responsiveness! Amazing!

Thanks for any help,

Rob

Thank you !!

(I haven't started editing/revising yet).

Anyway, if anyone could help me properly position my two topics, "Cog VM" and "Traditional (Squeak) VM" underneath "The MS-Windows way," I would greatly appreciated it. Although they are subsections, they are fully "unindented" like a chapter in the table of contents...

It seems someone has done it ... Anyway, to move a page, click on the 'Move' link in the command line and the choose the parent section.

Yes, and there's another problem too. When you try to change the order of a group of sections it *seems* to do it but then you hit refresh and nothing has changed at all.

The section is right, but on the table of contents, it looks like this:

2.0 Virtual-Machine 2.1 Building 2.1.1 The GNU/Linux way 2.1.2 The Mac OSX way 2.1.3 The MS-Windows way 2.1.3.1 Cog VM 2.1.3.2 Traditional (Squeak) VM 2.1.4 VMMaker

Instead of this:

2.0 Virtual-Machine 2.1 Building 2.1.1 The GNU/Linux way 2.1.2 The Mac OSX way 2.1.3 The MS-Windows way 2.1.3.1 Cog VM 2.1.3.2 Traditional (Squeak) VM 2.1.4 VMMaker

(See attached graphic)

I also have some "lost diagrams" that I do not know how to get back to--I know I created something incorrectly and it is "in the system" somewhere, but I don't know how to find it and delete it...

Thanks,

Rob
