There is WinMain in sqWin32Intel.c and LRESULT CALLBACK MainWndProcW(HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) is in sqWin32Window.c http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18709403/winmain-vs-main-c sqWin32Service.c has Windows service support but I don't know how this works. In WinMain, we get this: case 1: /* full usage */ abortMessage(TEXT("%s"), TEXT("Usage: " VM_NAME " [vmOptions] imageFile [imageOptions]\n\n") TEXT("vmOptions:") /* TEXT("\n\t-service: ServiceName \t(install Squeak as NT service)") */ TEXT("\n\t--headless \t\t(force Squeak to run headless)") TEXT("\n\t--timephases (print start load and run times)") TEXT("\n\t--log: LogFile \t\t(use LogFile for VM messages)") But the code appears to still exist... parseVMArgument(int argc, char *argv[]) { /* flags */ if (!strcmp(argv[0], "--help")) { printUsage(1); return 1; } else if (!strcmp(argv[0], "--version")) { versionInfo(); return 1; } else if (!strcmp(argv[0], "--headless")) { fHeadlessImage = true; return 1; } else if (!strcmp(argv[0], "--headfull")) { fHeadlessImage = false; return 1;} else if (!strcmp(argv[0], "--timephases")) { printPhaseTime(1); return 1; } #ifdef VISTA_SECURITY /* IE7/Vista protected mode support */ /* started with low rights, use alternate untrustedUserDirectory */ else if (!strcmp(argv[0], "--lowRights")) { fLowRights = true; return 1; } #endif /* VISTA_SECURITY */ #if (STACKVM || NewspeakVM) && !COGVM else if (!strcmp(argv[0], "--sendtrace")) { extern sqInt sendTrace; sendTrace = 1; return 1; } #endif /* parameters */ else if (argc > 1 && !strcmp(argv[0], "--service")) { installServiceName = argv[1]; return 2; } else if (!strncmp(argv[0], "--service:", 9)) { installServiceName = argv[0] + 9; return 1; } else if (argc > 1 && !strcmp(argv[0], "--log")) { logName = argv[1]; return 2; } else if (!strncmp(argv[0], "--log:", 5)) { logName = argv[0] + 5; return 1; } But despite these options, there is no service nor headless thing working atm. What is the basic thing to do to get Pharo running as a service? I can compile the Windows VM, so, the next step would be to get this working. Which I could do if pointed in a given direction by VM experts who are in the know. A lot of the Windows VM code is Andreas code but we need to take that back into our hands.

squeak vm info is for squeak vm, not for pharo vm (which has some differences… for example).

I will ask you again to give us more information about your command line, what you are trying to do, etc.

otherwise you will stay flipping around, because people will answer in general… not very useful for you.

I think phil is right. -vm-display-null is the question . it aborts the process. Does not matter wich vm and image are you using. For example i am trying pharo4 latest image latest vm.

The -vm-display-null parameter is specific to Ian Piumarta's unix VM. It is part of the loadable VM module system that he made for sound and displays. You will find this in the various VMs that run on top of Ian platform code. The Windows VMs originate from Andreas Raab's code base, which has different VM command line parameters.

For common things like starting a headless VM, it would be a good idea to make the command line parameters consistent across VMs. Maybe that could be done most easily in the start scripts, as opposed to the VM executables.

Headless on windows is not working I think.

that???s not related, ???no-quit should be working (and ???headless should be letting a window in the try).

can you provide more information?

vm version? image version? anything relevant?

just asking without information is like going to the doctor and just say ???it hurts me?????? not much we can do to help.

There is code in the VM but it looks more dead than alive. There is a console version of Squeak and we may want to revive that. There us even code for a Windows service in there...
