HI Ken,

   I recommend starting from the scan sources, http://www.squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/branches/Cog, and adding a build directory and a sub directory of platforms for your platform.  Generating sources just makes things more complicated.  The generated source tree contains stack interpreter and cog VM sources for v3 and spur so there's everything you need for an initial stack interpreter port. What processors does inferno run on?
