Excellent! Thank you.
I was not able to translate your presentation, but do I understand
you correctly that the following are the main points for Croquet?
(I'm not an expert on FreeBSD, nor Linux.):
* FreeBSD on i386 hardware can run Linux binaries when the
appropriate additional Free BSD "ports" are installed. For Croquet,
these include: emulators/linux_base8, x11/linux-XFree86libs, graphics/
linux-dri, audio/linux-openal. (For a headless Croquet, the later
three might not be needed.) With these, the standard Linux VM that
comes with Croquet should work (which is version 3.9-4).
* Similarly for the standard Windows VM when using the FreeBSD
emulators/wine port, running with:
wine path-to/Squeak.exe Croquet1.0.10.image
* The latest Squeak Unix VM, 3.9-7, can also be recompiled directly
on Free BSD, but it helps to have improvements that you've made
(e.g., to FFI). These are available at your
http://qml.610t.org/
squeak/VM_en.html page. (OpenAL may require some additional changes.)
