Hi Edgar,
Thank you for looking into this.
I do not know much about building on the Mac platform, but there are instructions in platforms/Mac OS/Documentation/readme.txt folder that should help. Here is a link to the file:
http://www.squeakvm.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/squeak/trunk/platforms/Mac%20OS/v...
I'm not sure what the VM would be called. John MacIntosh used a version naming convention for all of the official releases, so it might be good to follow that convention. But I guess that whoever manages to build an updated VM is entitled to name it!
Thanks, Dave

VM hackers and Mac enthusiasts, we need your help. Here is your chance to earn big karma points, along with the grateful admiration of the your peers.
What we need: A freshly compiled Mac Carbon VM, just like the Squeak 4.2.5beta1U VM on http://squeakvm.org/mac, but updated to use current VM sources, and to include CameraPlugin and ScratchPlugin.
Why we need it: See below. We have a GSOC project mentor who needs to do work on a Mac, who needs to run an image format 6502 (pre-closure) image, and is running into problems related to the outdated Mac VM. We need an update to the Mac VM so that the GSOC project can proceed, and to prevent problems like this for other Mac users who need to be able to run older images (Etoys, Scratch, etc).

If you have the ability to compile a Mac Carbon VM and make it available to the community, then please speak up. We need your help.
(Cross posted to several lists, but discussion should go to vm-dev if possible)
Thanks in advance,
Dave
