Hi Sven,
if we manage that stage I'll write that up. This looks like good info to
start with :)

Hi,
I managed to compile a StackVM on the raspberry Pi - a couple of months ago -
though I haven't tried with the latest StackVM source. I meant to write it up,
but life got in the way I'm afraid.
What you did (and I can't) is indeed what should be done: recompile locally ;-)
So the conclusion is that it worked and that you can now run Pharo 2.0 (and
presumable 3.0) as well ?
That would be excellent and important news ! And the best short term solution.
Either you (but you lack time) or somebody else who feels at home with this
stuff should redo your steps and produce the actual VM, so that us weak
high-level programmers can have our Pharo and play ;-)
Thanks,
Sven
The procedure I took was:
* From a PC running Pharo install VMMaker packages (I found it was easiest to
run under a Linux (eg Ubuntu) to match the PIs OS.
* Export the StackVM source
* Install the build tools on the raspberry Pi
* Copy exported StackVM source (need to ensure it is copied to exactly the same
place, eg /home/nick/build)
* Build and test with Pharo2.0.image
I choose to build on the Raspberry Pi as in my experience setting up a reliable
cross-compiling environment can take days.
Here are some notes I made at the time:
On the raspberry PI:
# install build tools
sudo apt-get install gcc g++ cmake
# dependencies for vm plugins
sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev libssl-dev libfreetype6-dev libgl1-mesa-dev
sudo apt-get install build-essential
# to fix:
# /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lSM
#/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lICE
# create the following links in: /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/
sudo ln -s libSM.so.6 libSM.so
sudo ln -s libICE.so.6 libICE.so
Once the source is installed:
chmod +x platforms/unix/config/version
chmod +x platforms/unix/config/verstamp
At the time I had to patch a couple of files, but that might have changed with
later versions of the StackVM source. My notes say I modified the following,
though don't indicate what I changed:
platforms/Cross/vm/sqAtomicOps.h
platforms/unix/vm/sqUnixITimerHeartbeat.c
platforms/unix/vm/vmVersionInfo.h
src/vm/gcc3x-interp.c
Hope this helps
Nick

Hi all,
I'm trying to know if it is possible to run a version of pharo, recent if
possible, on the Raspberry Pi?
I know that there is a squeak vm on Raspian (Debian for the RaspberryPi) but it
doesn't load recent pharo images.
Using the VM that comes with Raspbian, you can run Pharo 1.4.
Pharo 2.0 requires additional VM support.
Sven
Thanks,
Thierry
