Hi Laurent. I have been trying to compile the VM directly from your sources, but I found some problems.
The first one was that I haven't installed cmake. Thus, I have to do a sudo apt-get install cmake. After that, it could do the configure.
Then, the second error is that when trying to configure, there are some libraries or headers not found. I attach the output of the configure command.
In debian-based distro headers are in separate packages, the ones that ends with -dev. (flamewar inside:) that's why I've switched to ArchLinux, far more simple).
Yes. I know that problem ;)�� With SqueakDBX I had the same problem when installing the dev packages of the database client libraries.
�
So when a header is not found, like�asoundlib.h, the easy way is to go to�
http://packages.ubuntu.com/ , go down the page to "Search the contents of packages" and fill the search field with the name of file.�
You will see that it's libasound2-dev package.
Good link! I didn't know how to easily search it. Thanks
�
In debian (I don't really know ubuntu), you have apt-file to search for a package's file:
apt-file search asoundlib.h
And a really great command is "auto-apt run" which installs automagically all needed packages for a given command. You can try:
auto-apt run ../unix/cmake/configure
when it detects a missing header, it will search the corresponding package and prompt you to install it.
I tried both tools but don't seem to work...I don't know why. They just do nothing. But anyway, I do it manually :)
If someone is interested, these are all the packages I needed to install in order not to have problems in my Ubuntu 9.10:
sudo apt-get install linux-libc-dev libecasound2.2-dev libasound2-dev libc6-dev gnulib libc6-dev libpulse-dev libxrender-dev uuid-dev
�
In addition, is the output of the configure written somewhere like config.log or similar ?
It seems no. You can do�
�../unix/cmake/configure > config.log
yes, thanks :)
�
�
2) why the "squeak" executable has "hardcoded" the parameters "-pathenc UTF-8 -encoding UTF-8 -plugins
/usr/local/lib/squeak/3.11.13-2135 -vm-sound-oss"
is that correct ?� do I ALWAYS want all those parameters ? And if I don't want them, how can I execute a "clean" squeak ?
May be you can remove sound related plugin... �take a look at�
../unix/cmake/configure �--help
...
--without-<plugin> � �do not build the named plugin
....
Ok.....but not only plugins. For exaple, if I don't want UTF-8 ?
�
VMMaker is already configured. Just remove the sound plugin from external plugins, adapt paths to your system and click "Entire".
Thanks. I did this several times, but in MacOS, not linux. But this step is the same :)
�
�
Finally, in another thread, Eliot told me how to be able to debug SqueakVM with Gdb and threads. He told me to do:
../unix/cmake/configure CFLAGS="-g3 -pthread" LIBS=-lpthread
but configure says:
unknown option: CFLAGS=-g3 -pthread
unknown option: LIBS=-lpthread
you forgot the --
ufff.....what an idiot...thanks!� did you already discovered I am a newbie here ? :)
Thanks for everything.
Mariano
�
../unix/cmake/configure --CFLAGS="-g3-pthread"

�
Do you know how can I do this ?�� should I send this email to vm mailing list ?
Thanks a lot in advance!�

Your optimization flags are probably ignored by cmake: see this thread http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/vm-dev/2010-January/003736.html
You could also give these flags a try on x86 cpus: -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -mfpmath=sse -march=native

OK, I've tried the Smalltalk one...
With rev 2151 gnuification (awk) is done as I have gnu-interp.c
and gnu-interp.c.log in my build directory.
Benchmark gives me:
Squeak VM 3.11.3 -r 2151 + FT2Plugin + Gnuification
==========================================
312385600 bytecodes/sec; 7320778 sends/sec

310868245 bytecodes/sec; 7232576 sends/sec
310491206 bytecodes/sec; 8271046 sends/sec
compared to
�Squeak VM 3.11.3 -r 2135 + FT2Plugin
==========================================
334421946 bytecodes/sec; 8026581 sends/sec
334640522 bytecodes/sec; 7449884 sends/sec

334421946 bytecodes/sec; 7675486 sends/sec
327156549 bytecodes/sec; 7598782 sends/sec
so it seems that on my machine rev 2135 without gnuification is a little
better. I have GCC 4.4.3, �Linux 32bits.
I don't understand....it is slower with the gnuification ?
weird....

Which gnuification method did you try?
There are two different versions. The origial version is an awk script
which is run when you're building the vm with make. This is executed by
default if you have awk installed.
There's another version written in smalltalk (linked by Mariano into this
thread) which is not used by VMMAker at the moment, you probably don't need
that. If you applied the latter one, you have to make sure that the first
one is not executed. You can't gnuifying the sources twice.
Since both do the same, the best you can do now is to ignore the
smalltalk version. If VMMaker will adopt Gnuifier.st we can remove the awk
dependency from the build process, until then you shouldn't apply it if your
platform has awk installed.

I
have a little drop in benchmarks. However I'd rather put a stable
release
for Pharo 1.0 than latest trunk. What do you think ?
The so-called "gnuification" is a transformation of the interp.c file.
So
this is done after generating the sources with VMMaker. The cmake
configuration that comes with revision 2135 does not have this step
enabled,
and the more recent version that I used, revision 2151, has it. The
magic is
in the awk script in unix/cmake/gnuify.awk which produes gnu-interp.c.
OK thanks. I will take a look.
