[Vm-dev] Re: latest vmmaker wont run with pharo 1.1.1 (dev)

[Henrik Sperre Johansen]

IIRC, it's because in Pharo the method included in MiscPrimitivePlugin, 
String>>#findSubstring..., is no longer the primitive, it's been moved 
to findSubstringViaPrimitive...
findSubstring... now checks whether the primitive will work for the 
parameters (WideStrings vs ByteStrings), before it actually calls the 
primitive.
To "fix" this for Pharo, change the method included in 
MiscPrimitivePlugin's "this is where my code should be located"-method.

Cheers,
Henry

PS. Most of these issues have been discussed here before, do a search of 
the list and you are likely to find answers to speedbumps encountered 
along the way.
Most notably, there's a MonticelloConfiguration which, as part of 
loading VMMaker, will modify it/the image in the ways needed for it to 
work on Pharo.
