Compilers / MSVC
ST/X can now also be built using a Microsoft Visual C-compiler (such as the Express, or a Pro edition).
Although it builds and runs the self test suite, I'd still like to test-run it for a little longer to make sure it is stable enough. As the (currently used) borland compiler has some different data structures in its stdio library (FILE struct), a mix of dlls compiled with different compilers is only possibly for pure smalltalk classlibs (i.e. not if they contain stdio C-calls). Therefore, expect two different download packages in the future: one build with bcc32, one with msvc.
64bit version:
I have a 64bit windows version running, and it runs pretty stable so far - the jitter is not yet complete and needs a little more work (but not too much
. Also, some ffi-calls need to be adapted to 64bit (i.e. ExternalLibraryFunction calls). This version is built using the mingw64 toolchain.MAC version:
I have a 64bit MAC (x86) version running which uses the X11 window system. I started work on Cocoa interfacing. Expect more in the near future. Except for the ugly graphics, the rest looks very promising, indeed.
SourceCodeManager:
We still have CVS as main repository, mostly because all of the tooling and workflow runs more or less smoothly with it (not because we like it). We plan to migrate to mercurial. We tried git, but found hg to be a better fit. Jan is working on this...
