Ah, you missed the secret makefile...

cd platforms/unix/config
make
cd ../../..
mkdir build
cd build
../platforms/unix/config/configure
make

OR:

cd platforms/unix/config
make
cd ../../..
platforms/unix/config/build


Here's my whole recent test log:

mkdir /home/ned/Squeak/VM/cvstest
cd /home/ned/Squeak/VM/cvstest
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/squeak login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/squeak co squeak

inisqueak (3.7a-5548) (puts squeak.image, .changes, etc. into /home/ned/
Squeak/VM/cvstest)

update code from server (to 5595)
open/Package Loader
update SqueakMap to 1.09
install VMMaker 3.6g-2
reconsider, and get the newest from Tim's site (http://sumeru.stanford.edu/
tim/pooters/SqFiles/packages/VMMaker/VMMaker3-7a2.sar)
Load that too.
Install Balloon3D (1.0.3) from SqueakMap

Realize that Tim also has something called VMCodePackage.9.cs available
Get that.
Open a changelist browser on it, and remove all the up-to-date methods.
Get confused as to what it is supposed to be, and ignore it.

Open VMMaker.
Point the platforms path at where I put the CVS stuff (in /home/ned/Squeak/VM/
cvstest/squeak)
tell it to find path, then clean out.

Try to tell everything to be internal, find out that it won't.
(later: this is because I didn't point to the platforms directory)

Change the "path to generated sources" from /home/ned/Squeak/VM/cvstest/src 
to /home/ned/Squeak/VM/cvstest/squeak/src 

Try it again, still no luck.

Save Squeak and quit.

Get frustrated, and move all the Squeak image stuff down into
/home/ned/Squeak/VM/cvstest/squeak.

cd /home/ned/Squeak/VM/cvstest/squeak

(in which there is a platforms/ directory and a src/ directory)

start squeak again

set platforms path to /home/ned/Squeak/VM/cvstest/squeak/platforms
set platform to unix
set src path to /home/ned/Squeak/VM/cvstest/squeak/src


say "make all internal"; much more successful.

Say "generate all".
Save and quit.

mkdir build (/home/ned/Squeak/VM/cvstest/build)

cd platforms/unix/config
make

cd ../../../build
../platforms/unix/config/configure

make

stuff happens...

get an error in building one of the GL files. (should be fixed by omitting the 
Balloon3D plugin until I figure out what the problem is)

Anyway, this should get you a bit further
