Jean,
Can you share what is the intended use of the android vm that you're building?
- Deploying application on Android - Proving to big customers Pharo can run on ARM processor on the contrary to several other smalltalks No ?
Regards!

: I am really close to finish the android VM, only based on the Unix source (just decorate with less than 20 lines of codes, I need a entry point for the interpreter loop and some convention that cannot change via the android builder). + one graphical plugin and a C file for communicate between C and Java.
CogDroid, project is not maintain since 3 or 4 years. But still seems work (just have a completely separated source). Peoples give me all the key to revive it. I take the source of Cogdroid for understand what they do and redo it changing less thing possible in unix source.
My VM run without the graphics and with a subset of plugin (file, socket and some of them I cannot remember). Road map: - Full compiling and packaging process: Done. - Fix interpreter headless: Done. - be able to generate and load external lib on the fly from android: done - Graphical plugin: In progress. - reintroduce slowly and fix all the removed plugins: todo. - Nice android connectivity: todo. (all event manage, list of image, blablabla) - Create a CMakeGenerator extension to have a really nice way to generate project.
Once a graphical version come out I promise some picture and a website. But again I do that on my free time :-).
