Well you can see the ST source with the example in the web page.
I use just the Exupery's low level compiler. I had to replace the high
level compiler, because it is too tightly coupled to Squeak.
But, yes  I am planning to release source code. I am not doing so yet,
because I would have to explain a lot of things (about the compilation
process). When I get a simpler compilation process I will let anyone see
(and help).
But please be patient, I am not far from that.

Yes, sorry about that, It is too buggy.
But, I have a 32 bit machine, It work for me:

Huemul 0.1

68342891

Now the numbers are not so great because I have partially implemented an
external GC. (http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc)

I am planning to do so. But first I wanted to know what Exupery's palls
have to say about it.
Something else, I am planning to implement the Exupery's high level too.
But for now it is enough. Please keep making a better Exupery, it will
help us all.

Cheers, Guille
