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 think so :) (if other users report no problem - Thanks Alain): the binary form is cleaner than exupery-vm, we have the source, fonts are nice, all tests green, build is reproductible.��
��

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 ?

Isn't it a MacOS issue only ?��
��

- all tests green
- FT2Plugin and the Bryce magic for nicer fonts

With Bryce's Bitlbt patch from Exupery VM some test fails.... and while some rendering are little better with Exupery, some aren't nice ��(hints for example).
��
- 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:

Exupery is better on benchmarks, but what is the activity on this VM?

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.��



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:
=======================
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
DSAPrims
DropPlugin
FFTPlugin
FT2Plugin
FileCopyPlugin
FilePlugin
FloatArrayPlugin
FloatMathPlugin
GeniePlugin
HostWindowPlugin
JPEGReadWriter2Plugin
JPEGReaderPlugin
JoystickTabletPlugin
Klatt

LocalePlugin
MIDIPlugin
Matrix2x3Plugin
MiscPrimitivePlugin
Mpeg3Plugin

SerialPlugin
SocketPlugin
SoundCodecPrims
SoundGenerationPlugin
SoundPlugin
Squeak3D
SqueakFFIPrims
StarSqueakPlugin
SurfacePlugin
UnixOSProcessPlugin
XDisplayControlPlugin
ZipPlugin


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
