[Vm-dev] working directory under Mac OS X

[Eliot Miranda]

Hi Andreas, Matthew, John, (Hi All),

    I'm getting my house in order, merging the Newspeak VM into the OSCog
platforms hierarchy.  One big difference between trunk vms (and Newspeak)
and Qwaq VMs on Mac OS X is that in the Qwaq VM there is an early chdir to
the directory containing the .app, whereas in the non-Qwaq VMs the directory
is left as is.  If you look at
http://squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/trunk/platforms/Mac OS/vm/sqMacMain.c you'll
see that this chdir has been commented-out, so there was a point when it was
in standard VMs.  Andreas, Matthew, do you think the Qwaq behavour is
important to preserve?  John, what's the history of this?  Should I even
bother trying to maintain the Qwaq behaviour and instead disable it in all
builds (Qwaq, OSCog, Newspeak)?

best,
Eliot
