Building the source has a code generation step where it looks at
dependencies in the C++ files and generates optimal ".incl" files
containing header includes. If you're thinking of doing a port you
might like to try the 'remove_makedeps' branch. This removes this code
generation step and uses normal file includes.

I have a GNU Makefile that I've used in the past for building, before
CMake integration was done, that might give you an idea of what files
are needed for building:

It is in vm/src/i386/asm/regs_i386.hh as an 'enum' and probably in the
other CPU backends.

The build process builds the Self VM, which is command line. From
there you build a self image (that's what "'worldBuilder.self'
_RunScript" does) which will produce an image that runs the command
line and optionally the gui. You would run it as:

cd objects
../vm/Self
# ...enter commands here...

it can be run headless this way on a server.

Try: http://www.cd.pn/self_linux.zip

Unzip that and there is a "Self" linux executable. It has the
following dynamic dependencies:

    linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xf7769000)
    libpthread.so.0 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0xf72e0000)
    libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6 (0xf7195000)
    libXext.so.6 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXext.so.6 (0xf7180000)
    libtinfo.so.5 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5 (0xf715d000)
    libdl.so.2 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0xf7158000)
    libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0xf6fd8000)
    libm.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0xf6f82000)
    libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xf6f64000)
    libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0xf6da8000)
    /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x565f9000)
    libxcb.so.1 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1 (0xf6d82000)
    libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXau.so.6 (0xf6d7e000)
    libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXdmcp.so.6 (0xf6d77000)

It would probably be possible to build one without the X lib
dependencies. Let me know if that's useful.

Definitely try the "remove_makedeps" branch. This will avoid that pain.

Thanks for looking into Windows support, that'd be a great contribution.
