For anyone (present or future) who has similar questions to me, also check out the thread with the same name on the Squeak-dev mailing list; there's a *bit* more info there.
Cheers, Josh

Hi,
I checked out Hydra from SVN, and tried to build it with the normal Win32 toolchain. When I cd into winbuild/ and type "make", I get the following error:
Makefile:42 src/plugins.ext: No such file or directory Makefile:43 src/plugins.int: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target 'src/plugins.int'. Stop.
I don't have a src/ directory at all, so I guess that I'm supposed to use VMMaker to generate the sources.
Yes. I'm not in favor for holding a generated sources in SVN.
I assume that I first have to modify VMMaker by applying Win32VMMaker.st, but to which VMMaker?
No, it is not necessary.
Which image should I start with (Croquet, Squeak-3.10, etc.)?
For building VM - any image you like , you need an FFI package installed before loading VMMaker.
Which repository should I pull VMMaker from?
squeaksource/HydraVM
There is one issue with sqOldSoundPrims.c. Delete this file after checking out from SVN. If you'll have any other problems, just ask.
Thanks, Josh
