Hello, I am trying to re-establish my vm build on 64-bit linux. Is there an up to date page with linux instructions for installing/building the vm? squeakvm.org is down and some posts on squeak.org seem out of date (referencing the old archiver source). I would be grateful for a good link! Kindly, robert |

You can get started by reading that web page, which will give you an overview and explanation of how to get started. I don't know if you are familiar with git, but basically what you want to do is clone that repository to your own PC, and then look in the ./image folder. There you will find some scripts that will allow you to make an up-to-date VMMaker image on your own computer. You can use that image for generating VM and plugin sources. The repository that you clone to your PC will also contain a wide range of build scripts for compiling the VM. If you are on a 64-bit Linux system, the script that you will probably want to use is either opensmalltalk-vm/build.linux64x64/squeak.cog.spur/build/mvm or opensmalltalk-vm/build.linux64x64/squeak.cog.spur/build.debug/mvm (the latter building a VM with debugging enabled in the compiler). FYI, the squeakvm.org site is still active, and building the original portable VM works fine, and least on Linux. I use it myself on a regular basis, expecially for plugin development. But for building a modern VM, you need to use opensmalltalk-vm, so please take a look at the GitHub site and give it a try. HTH, Dave |
Hi David, Thank you for illumination. I will approach slowly, with the proper respect and tuck in, figure how to work it all again! One of my concerns is whether I have all the proper Ubuntu tools installed. I know where to start reading, now. Thank you, David. I am smiling again! And in anticipation! On 3/1/20 7:37 PM, David T.
