Ah, just in time to lend or give said MacBook to me so I can confirm
if it works or not.... However I will note that a number of things need to happen for the Carbon VM to be converted. I don't know if it runs under Rosetta on the machine, no-one has yet said. a) Getting a mac intel machine to test on. b) Time on my side to do the work. d) Coding up a MacIntel FFI assembler interface. e) Cross checking endian issues f) Recompiling a bunch of standalone plugins (aka MP3) Likely at the same time we'll switch to unix file names with HFS+ alias support and enable the ability to load unix libraries versus plugins. I believe for the unix version a) Rewrite of the screen display update logic to handle byte swapping (likely) b) The FFI interface c) Recompiling a bunch of standalone plugins (aka MP3) On 30-Jan-06, at 8:28 AM, Jason Rogers wrote: > On 1/30/06, stéphane ducasse <[hidden email]> wrote: >> Hi all >> >> I would like to know if Squeak works on the new machines from apple >> based on intel. > > but your Subject line said VisualWorks. ;) > > I don't know if it does, but when my laptop comes, I will give a short > experience report if you would like. > > -- > Jason Rogers > > "Where there is no vision, the people perish..." > Proverbs 29:18 > -- ======================================================================== === John M.

Thanks.
I wanted to know if it was for me to switch to that kind of machines for both Squeak and VW :) Stef On 30 janv. 06, at 19:57, John M McIntosh wrote: > Ah, just in time to lend or give said MacBook to me so I can > confirm if it works or not.... > > However I will note that a number of things need to happen for the > Carbon VM to be converted.
