Hi Laurent. Excellent news!�� It's cool to see people playing with the VM. Depending in gurus of heroes is never good. Because they left and you are dead.

A little question...do you think we should replace the official Linux VM from the Pharo website ?

I would love that the official Linux VM has:

- that thing about the gnufication
I did that when compiling MacOS VM.
Read this link�� (step 4 for example)
http://www.squeakvm.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/trunk/platforms/Mac%20OS/vm/Documentation/readme.txt?rev=1984&view=auto

�does it make sense also in Linux VM ?� which are the difference in the benchmarks compared to do it without this step ?

- all tests green
- FT2Plugin and the Bryce magic for nicer fonts
- Include this VM in the Pharo 1.0 one click.

Did you check the benchmarks with the VM from Pharo website and yours ? can you evaluate the results of "1 tinyBenchmarks" as it is explained if point 5 of Adrian post:
http://www.adrian-lienhard.ch/blog?article=building-a-pharo-squeak-vm-from-first-principles

It would be cool also to update the readme.txt of the Pharo Linux Vm if necessary

And finally would be great to add a link to download the sources also.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Finally I've managed to build squeak vm rev. 2135 (current stable) with FT2Plugin which makes all tests green on Pharo 1.0 rc3 image........ on my machine :)

If some Linux users can test it on their distro, thanks.�

The clean binary archive: �http://lolgzs.free.fr/pharo/squeak-vm/Squeak-3.11.3.2135-pharo-bin.tar.gz

The generated source archive:�http://lolgzs.free.fr/pharo/squeak-vm/Squeak-3.11.3.2135-pharo-src.tar.gz

PharoCore-1.0 + configured VMMaker 1.2 image �(for new vm builders, to have a known working base):�http://lolgzs.free.fr/pharo/squeak-vm/PharoCore-1.0-VMMaker-1.2.tar.gz


To build from source archive:
=======================
wget�http://lolgzs.free.fr/pharo/squeak-vm/Squeak-3.11.3.2135-pharo-src.tar.gz
tar -xvzf�Squeak-3.11.3.2135-pharo-src.tar.gz
cd�Squeak-3.11.3.2135-pharo-src/
mkdir build && cd build
../unix/cmake/configure
make
sudo make install


Internal plugins:
======================
UUIDPlugin

External plugins:
======================
ADPCMCodecPlugin
AioPlugin
AsynchFilePlugin
B2DPlugin
B3DAcceleratorPlugin
BMPReadWriterPlugin
BitBltPlugin
CroquetPlugin

DropPlugin
FFTPlugin

Fun story: if you don't have SecurityPlugin, LocaleTest>>testFontFullName � deletes your image :)
testFontFullName
"self debug: #testFontFullName"
| env dir |
env := (Locale isoLanguage: 'ja') languageEnvironment.
dir := FileDirectory on: SecurityManager default untrustedUserDirectory.
[dir recursiveDelete] � <-------------- Cool !!
on: Error
do: [:e | e].
env fontFullName.
self assert: dir exists


Cheers,

Laurent Laffont
