</div>The instructions are on <a href="http://squeakvm.org" target="_blank">squeakvm.org</a>, see <a href="http://squeakvm.org/unix/devel.html" target="_blank">http://squeakvm.org/unix/devel.html</a>.<br>
They are getting a bit out of date, but still usable I think. Yes, I should<br>
update them.<br>
<br>
Being a lazy person, I have been trying to update the instructions in the<br>
form of an executable Smalltalk script so that I don't need to keep refreshing<br>
the web pages quite so often. If anyone with a Linux computer wants to give<br>
this a try, I'd appreciate some feedback. You need Linux with Subversion<br>
and CMake installed, plus the usual C compilers that come with your distribution.<br>
<br>
Download this script file:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://squeakci.org/job/InterpreterVM/ws/VMUnixBuild.st" target="_blank">http://squeakci.org/job/InterpreterVM/ws/VMUnixBuild.st</a><br>
<br>
And then use VMUnixBuild.st as a start script:<br>
<br>
$ squeak myImage VMUnixBuild.st<br>
<br>
You should be able to sit back and watch as your image loads all of the<br>
necessary VMMaker and plugin packages, downloads the latest Subversion platform<br>
sources, generates the VM sources, and does a configure and build.<br>
<br>
Please let me know if this works (or not).<br>
<br>
