Nothing seems unusual up to this point.

Now it gets wierd.  I should mention that I'm using an image updated
to 4478, and building just the core VM (I'll mess with plugins once I
get this to work).  One of two things happens; the first happens when I
use the src/ directory generated by VMMaker, and the second when I use
a copied version ("cp -r") of that directory.

The first thing that might happen is that typing "make" results in the output:

cd ../src && aclocal
cd ../src && autoconf
configure.in:142: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross compiling
configure.in:143: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross compiling
Bconfigure.in:144: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross compiling
../src/configure --prefix=/usr/local --exec_prefix=/usr/local --bindir=/usr/local/bin --libdir=/usr/local/lib --mandir=/usr/local/man
...
<repeat of configure>
...
updating cache ./config.cache

CONFIG_FILES=Makefile CONFIG_HEADERS= /bin/sh ./config.status
creating Makefile
make: *** No rule to make target `../src/src/Makefile.in', needed by `Makefile'.  Stop.



This behavior is unlike any other unix program I have tried to
compile.  Subsequent invocations of "make" just elicit a repeat of the
line:

make: *** No rule to make target `../src/src/Makefile.in', needed by `Makefile'.  Stop.



The other thing that might happen is that typing "make" appears to run normally up until
the following output:

copying last section of file
mv gnuify.out gnu-interp.c
gcc -I/usr/X11R6/include -g -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -DLSB_FIRST=1  -funroll-loops -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DUNIX -DSQ_LIBDIR=\"/usr/local/lib/squeak/3.1a-4164\" -I. -I../src/vm  -c gnu-interp.c
gnu-interp.c:1234: conflicting types for `readImageFromFileHeapSizeStartingAt'
../src/vm/sq.h:309: previous declaration of `readImageFromFileHeapSizeStartingAt'
make: *** [gnu-interp.o] Error 1



This is a more reasonable error, but an error nonetheless.  I have a
hunch that the first behavior might be avoided by using VMMaker with a
properly compiled FilePlugin.  However, to do that, I have to avoid the
second error.

Help?

Thanks,
