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.

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
