The embedding of source code for libraries in the Squeak VM sources is historical, probably to spare builders the hassle of hunting down the right sources. On Linux it doesn't really make sense to do that, agreed. In general it should work fine to delete the embedded library sources and adapting the make files. I'm not familiar enough with cmake to say how exactly, though. However, adding the acinclude.m4 will not work since that is autoconf, not cmake. HowToBuildFromSource hasn't been updated for cmake, yet, unfortunately. I am cc'ing upstream, will forward any insights that might help you. Thanks for doing this! - Bert - On 29.02.2012, at 10:28, Pierre Boutillier wrote: > Hi, > This is the second nmu that is rejected for this reason. > > I start my fight by pcre.
