Hi,
Thanks for the link to the page on 64 bit vms: http://squeakvm.org/squeak64/faq.html. It's is in need of updating. MacOSX 10.5.x Leopard needs to be added to the question: "For which hardware/OS combinations is there a 64-bit VM?".
Now that the MacOSX 10.5.x 64 bit Leopard has been released more people will likely want to use a 64 bit squeak. This version of MacOSX is the first 64 bit OS that will go big time (ok there is vista too which this also applies to).
How does the mac vm .app file get created? how does one create a 64 bit version? Who builds the mac version?
It would be better than nice if there was an official 64 bit download for Mac and Vista. 64 bits are becoming popular and it's important to get on the band wagon in terms of letting people easily download it without having to generate their own vm's and images. Can we add these as standard builds from now on please? Who makes the standard vm builds for the Mac and Windows?
Cheers,
Peter

Hi,
Has anyone created a 64 bit Squeak VM and image for Intel MacOSXdot5 Leopard? If so where is it? I couldn't find it at http://squeakvm.org/squeak64.
Is the latest mac vm both 32 bit and 64 bit?
How does the mac vm get created? How is that different than creating a unix vm or a pc vm?
Is there a 64 bit image created for each published image? If not, why not? If not then how about putting a menu option so it's easy to generate a 64 bit image (or 32 bit image for that matter) from the current image? That would be cool to be able to have it transform in both directions... and to be easy for novices without having to think about the process... which is really only for us uber technies anyhow.
MacOSX 10.5 is now 64 bits. We need to show off the 64 bit smalltalk to the world. Can it be done with one FAT binary or with two apps?
Thanks,
Peter
