[Vm-dev] Problems building rev 2181 on Linux

[Henrik Johansen]

Let me guess, you tried loading VMMaker directly from the repository  
rather than use the ConfigurationOf...?
All the issues mentioned below are Pharo-specific, and handled (ie.  
Methods are changed etc.) by the metacello configuration.
There's been some work to restore VmMaker to a fork-agnostic state,  
not finished yet though. Check the recent vm-dev archive for details.

Cheers,
Henry
