Hey Nick, The GUI work was basically just a prototype. We had ambitions to properly incorporate it into the project but we lacked the resources to do so. It should really be archived until someone wants to revive it. So I’m not surprised it doesn’t work. We don’t recommend using it.
The RELEASE-NOTES.md file, in the root of the gem5 repository (https://gem5.googlesource.com/public/gem5/+/refs/heads/stable/RELEASE-NOTES.md) should highlight all the major changes introduced in gem5 released. API changes should be noted there. A VM should work fine, but if you want to try something more light-weight, you could use Docker. The Docker image for the container we ran the Bootcamp in, via Codespaces, is gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latest <http://gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latest>. So all you need to do is: ``` docker pull gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latest <http://gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latest> docker run -u $UID:$GID —volume <gem5 directory>:/gem5 —rm -it gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latest <http://gcr.io/gem5-test/gem5-tutorial-env:latest> # from here you’re in the docker container and the gem5 repo is mounted to “/gem5” ``` (The sources for this docker image is in the Bootcamp repo, here: https://github.com/gem5bootcamp/gem5-bootcamp-env/tree/main/docker).
