The memory.image distributed with spoon 2a12?

How do you make that? Which image version do you start with?
Which VMMaker version do we need to make a vm with the proper
support in it? How can we run an interpreter simulator using
this VM? Do I need to go buy a mac? Which os?
I know you have done more work in spoon than just a "Hello
World" demo.
Since there is nothing inside the memory.image distributed with
2a12, I need to run the interpreter simulator to see what it is
doing and why it is halting. Here is what I tried on windows xp:
- I downloaded http://damien.cassou.free.fr/squeak-dev/sq3.9-7067dev07.6.2.zip and ran it using naiad.exe distributed with spoon 2a12
- I installed VMMaker-3.8b6.1 from universe
- I downloaded http://squeakvm.org/win32/release/SqueakVM-Win32-3.10.4-src.zip and unzipped it
- I filed in spoonProcessorChanges.st
- I opened VMMakerTool, pointed it at SqueakVM-Win32-3.10.4\platforms
- I set the platform to win32
- I generated the source for the core and all plugins internally
except for:
- FileCopyPlugin
- InternetConfigPlugin
- LargeIntegersPlugin
- LargeIntegersSimulator
- MacMenubarPlugin
- TestOSAPlugin
- I tried running
(InterpreterSimulatorLSB new openOn: '..\memory.image') test
- It failed with MessageNotUnderstood: Bitmap>>swapBytesFrom:to:
Should I be doing something differently? How do you do it?
