Hi Giorgio
rereading your answer missing a thing.
I am not revitalizing Dolphin !
Dolphin was and is continuously maintained at
https://github.com/dolphinsmalltalk/Dolphin - since its MIT release - I
am attempting to get it up on my VM after a decade again.
Dolphin itself has evolved since its MIT release - no doubt - it may
look still like it was a decade ago - but under its hood - it had been
constantly improved - so Dolphin of its own is worth looking at -
It still would be nice to have a confirmation that it can be compiled as
described and works out of the box.
My work here is to port it to my VM - with help of Blair- and when this
works - do the next steps - planned is to have Dolphin working as a
"Scripting" language for Godot Game engine 4.0.
DNG "failed" a decade before - also due to also technical reasons - to
very different concepts of the underlying VM's and the fact that only a
very limited man power was available.
- but as you can see on my twitter ( screenshot ) we got it working in
2010 & it still works here on Win10.
So everyone who is interested - do me a favor & just try Dolphin from Github
thanks Giorgio, Frank
