[Pharo-project] NativeBoost VM's
Hello, On the Pharo Jenkins server [1] there is a recent build of a VM with NativeBoost support for the Mac. But the Unix version is six months old and there is no Windows version. Is this just a Jenkins issue and is NativeBoost working on Unix and Windows? Or are these platforms not working yet? Jan. [1] https://ci.lille.inria.fr/pharo/view/NativeBoost/

The Unix one was not built because i forgot to set the upstream project, :) so build doesn't triggers when everything else builds. The Windows one, i was built manually on my machine, because we were lacking windows slave for jenkins. You can download windows VM from nativeboost project downloads page: http://code.google.com/p/nativeboost/downloads/list I'm not happy with VM i built (Cog + NativeBoost Win32 Binaries (7 Feb, 2012) ). I built the threaded VM, and besides the warning which pops up every time you launch it, i had couple crashes when simply loading MC packages. I am still not sure what happens, and need to investigate, because the other VM i built recently on another windows machine (by installing everything from scratch) behaves quite stable.

Everything is working. It is just jenkins. I hope in following few days, after we deal with weird free space issues on jenkins, we can finally set up windows builds for vanilla vms as well as for nativeboost.

I would definitely treat the threaded VM as experimental for now. It is in development (stalled due to lack of time), bleeding edge and very much not ready for prime time. I used to use it regularly on Mac but then it started locking up. I plan to get back to it this year sometime, but right now it is "use at your own risk" and not something to inflict on the unwitting.

I know the status, Eliot. But also, i know that we need to give it a try. A community should help in developing it and testing.. You should not stand alone vs all dragons. -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.
