why not use Visual Studio ?��

Hi Dimitris,
it's not possible for the moment because there are portability issues to solve (low level access to stack pointer, heartbeat, atomic ops, alignment, etc...)
I have some MSVC2015 .vcxproj configured for squeak 32/64 cog/stack spur VM if someone is interested...

Also windows architecture require LLP64 (sizeof long == 4), while cog/spur slang assumed sizeof long = sizeof void * (ILP32 or LP64).
With latest VMMaker changes fixing that problem, I have a working squeak stack spur64 compiled with ./mvm -f CC=x86_64-w64-mingw32-clang thru cygwin64.
Of course it remains to compile the pharo 3rd party.

The cog version (with JIT) crashes early (before opening the Squeak/Pharo window).

Hi guys,��

I want to start moving the VM stuff into the new structure. Now I know there are still missing things :)
Can you download a VM from here:��https://bintray.com/estebanlm/pharo-vm/build/201611082123#files

and start using it, and report problems?

thanks!
Esteban

ps: Windows users: I��m still not there, I��m having problems to build third-party libraries with cygwin�� also if someone can help me here I would thank it :)
