The setup finally somehow works: I followed the guide at https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/wiki/Contribute-a-fix-to-Pharo
* wget -O- get.pharo.org/70+vm | bash Does not work (windows msys-console) It starts donwloading something but not pharo I tried to do at seperate steps: Only the image * wget -O- get.pharo.org/70 | bash Works * wget -O- get.pharo.org/vm | bash works, but is the wrong VM I guess, I can not open the image * wget -O- get.pharo.org/vm70 | bash works, seems to load the right vm * ./pharo-ui Pharo.image Starts the vm but complains about : "Pharo cannot write to the changes file named u:\tmp\pharo\Pharo.changes." I am sure the file is writable. The vm reports to be built on aug 27 2017, is this right? Setting up Iceberg: Yes, need option 2, that is, I use the commandline to clone a repository and add it to iceberg. Cloning from iceberg directly does not work (long file names). Ok, now I see some uncommitted changes, the guide says: "you may need to invoke synchronize" But how? There is a "synchronize repository... " and "Synchronize full repository ..." menu entry. Which one? The first synchronize does not show me how to actually do anything and the second one shows a intimidating warning :) FInally I removed my fork (it was pretty old), did a new fork and sstarted with a fresh image. Finally, the initial setup up is done, I now try to do some work with it and report back nicolai
