Hm, I tried to create the build environment used for the windows vm build from opensmalltalk.
I setup a cygwin environment with the same install commands as from https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/blob/Cog/.appveyor.yml My problems, first it is missing make and wget, I can add make and wget to the install command line for cygwin, but I am curious why it is working on the build server ? Anyway, after I got this working, the build stops and building the pkg-config package. The log says it can not find a gcc, I know that the build process with cygwin uses i686-w64-mingw32-gcc or x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc But I don't understand where is the missing step to tell the configure scripts to use the i686-w64-mingw32-gcc command instead of "gcc", again, this seems to work on the appveyor build but not locally on my machine. Any idea what I had missed? nicolai 2017-03-15 10:11 GMT+01:00 Nicolai Hess <nicolaih...@gmail.com>: > > > 2017-03-15 9:22 GMT+01:00 philippe.b...@highoctane.be < > philippe.b...@gmail.com>: > >> I made my own build here. >> Not up to date with latest stuff but should work for the build process. >> >> https://ci.appveyor.com/project/philippeback/pharo-vm >> >> It uses my forked repo and provided you set your own bintray env vars for >> API keys will publish there. >> >> Check all of the output of env vars and where/which in the appveyor >> console to see what gets used when when it comes to compilers and so on as >> there were various compiler versions involved at one point. >> >> Third party cache part is also worth checking. >> >> Still not able to build on my local box at the moment due to some tools >> discrepancies happening. >> >> My build artifacts are embarking too much at this point but allow you ro >> get the release, debug, and assert vms for windows.
