The following steps explain how to generate the VM sources from a build image.
I *did* generate the VM sources from the build image. I even said that a few messages ago in this very thread.
I also *did* get the "blessed" blob from git, because it was in Mariano's instructions.
The problem isn't just that your instructions are old. It's that you have multiple sets of conflicting instructions.
So as you can see Marianos post is quite old (>6months?), so it has clearly outdated parts. The HOWTOBUILD *IS* the place to put the build instructions as it is properly versioned along the VM sources. The problem is, that currently only few care about the VM sources, and only 1 or 2 modify the sources :/. So I would be happy to update the HOWTOBUILD according to your experience. AFAIK it is fairly complete, might miss some setup instructions for OSX/WIN. So that said, YES we desperately have to improve this situation. Our build severs do some of the work, if they work... But that does not replace properly detailed instructions... so please try restarting over with git clone --depth=0 git://gitorious.org/cogvm/blessed.git cd blessed/image && ./newImage.sh # generate the proper sources from the image here... cd ../build sh ../codegen-scripts/extract-commit-info.sh cmake . make
And yes, you do sound rude.
I'm sorry for that... it's hard to see what you did and what not, your answers seemed to be random to me ;)
