Hi!
Is the new VM ported to Linux yet? I volunteer to work with this, if wanted, but it will take some time to get into the details.

Goodness me yes; it was the first 'port' I did after getting the stuff originally running on my Acorns.
I don't think Ian has had time yet to build a sources package to put on his site, and there are a few changes that are needed that haven't made it to the update stream yet (Yo! Andreas! At least the .h file changes are needed pretty soon, even if you don't want to release the module reflection prims) that make it possible to build a linux (and hopefully any unix ) VM by:- = translate the interp.c + builtin modules = writeSupportfiles (which wil lactually be _correct_ for unix at long last) = extract the platform specific files and makefiles and autoconf magic = `make`
The only real oddity I had found up to last week was that I simply cannot persuade the magic-make stuff to include the LargeIntegers.o in the link command! It's quite happy with a separate external plugin though. Very odd.
tim PS for (hopefully!) your convenience, there is a changeset 'PLG-pluginInfo-2.4.cs' on http://sumeru.stanford.edu/tim/pooters/SqFiles/plugs and a .tar.gz in the i686-Linux directory with all the sources etc. My suggestion is take the latest image/changes from Bruce, filein the PLG-pluginInfo changeset, follow the list above and see if it works. You should get a VM and a FilePlugin, SoundPlugin and SocketPlugin.

Actually, there's a Space Cadets Release at http://www-sor.inria.fr/~piumarta/squeak/
and there are a few changes that are needed that haven't made it to the update stream yet
I guess he has not yet included these then ...
