I noticed that in Pharo's homepage now there is a link to a Centos build. However, the necessary 32bits libs are not mentioned.

Thanks! I was holding off on this because there are several such lists out there and I'm not sure which apply to which platforms. For example, https://github.com/philippeback/pharovm-centos65/blob/master/packages-to-ins... is a very different list for Centos65. IIRC now after some info from Philippe, a list of libraries for CentOS should work for all RedHat-based distributions, right? Except what about versions e.g. is the list the same in CentOS 6.5 vs. 7.1? And if not how does one map that to versions of e.g. RHEL? ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-on-Centos-RHEL-7-1-tp4821602p4821621.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

For now, I put a NB with a link to the 64-bit prep instructions on our GNU/Linux download page [1]. For the known cases, I wonder if the best course wouldn't be to bundle the VMs with a prep64bit.sh e.g. Philippe already has such a script and it seems we could just inject it into the CI build. nacho wrote

Or at least inside the README.txt that comes in the zip.

Unless we can do that programmatically, I'm hesitant to put anything more than a link to [1], because it will be duplicated logic e.g. probably always out of date! In general, it seems there is already a good deal of duplication out there as many of use have rolled our own 32-bit solutions. We're in the process of bringing these under Pharo's GitHub organization, and I'm calling for anyone with a working solution to add it to https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-workingRoadmaps/blob/master/DownloadI... . It's hard for me to manage all these great contributions via the mailing list :/ Here's what we've accomplished so far: - the method for different platforms leaves you with different products (e.g. Ubuntu -> Launcher, but Debian -> VM-only). [SOLVED]: The downloads were standardized and categorized - default is vm+image.zip for all platforms, other options (e.g. launcher or vm-only) were made explicit - the instructions at http://pharo.org/download are incomplete (e.g. Debian step 2.i.a below)[SOLVED]: We gave the website GNU/Linux instructions a massive overhaul. See http://pharo.org/gnu-linux-installation - Old Lib C downloads out of date: http://files.pharo.org/vm/pharo/linux/old-libc/ last pharovm-ubuntu804.tar.gz is from 8/28/2013, but most recent swing buld is from 9/2014.[SOLVED]: We now have our own libc < 2.15 CI build, with artifacts mirrored to files.pharo.org, and linked from the website - Can we pick up the debian artifact from the Debian build and create a launcher on our CI with it? [SOLVED]: We now have our own libc < 2.15 CI build, with artifacts mirrored to files.pharo.org, and linked - [SOLVED]: Link Launcher instructions to the Launcher tutorial. - [SOLVED]: Remove all GNU/Linux instructions from the main download page. Instead, when a user clicks on the Linux button, they should be taken to a whole different page that explains the intricacies of each platform. - [SOLVED]: put a clear heading for each GNU/Linux flavor (e.g. ###Debian instead of "Looking for a debian distribution?") - [SOLVED]: [OT]: Change all references to Linux -> GNU/Linux.
