I got it to work but I used CW 5. I attached my VM project, but don't take
it as gospel. I am not, repeat not, an expert. Don't use it, rather look at
its settings; I have turned on some optimization you might not want.

Didn't happen to me IIRC, sorry.

I don't remember adding that, hmm. My memory might be wrong. Note that this
code is "experimental" anyway.

THis was the one I did get. Try kCompiledCFragArch, it worked for me.

Well, you should most definitely turn off some warnings in your project; I
guess you are putting your trust in Slang translation (and SqC :-). Would it
be "implicit arithmetic conversions" here?

Again, check my project file, or ask if this doesn't do it for ya.


C makes you long back inside Squeak, doesn't it? Did for me.

All those non-believers should be sentenced to a week in C.

Good luck,
