This is from the Makefile in your build directory?  Or the one in  
platforms/unix??  The latter hasn't been updated since the change to  
cmake.  I just updated it.

It's the first target defined in unix/vm/build.cmake.

Sounds like it should be easy.  What do you need?  (Show me what the  
invocation of 'make' should look like, and explain as unambiguously as  
possible what the variables you pass to it should do to affect the way  
things are installed.)

It looks like your builder assumes CMakeLists.txt is in the top-level  
of the extracted sources.  Ours is buried way down in Squeak-src/ 
platforms/unix/.  If you can't persuade the build script to look in  
the right place, you could maybe patch a Makefile into the platforms  
dir that calls cmake on its behalf -- something similar to platforms/ 
unix/Makefile (the latest version in the repo).

Cheers,
Ian
