I was able to build a vm from src64 and run the 64bit image from the
aforementioned site (Squeak64-3.8g-6548). There is 1 problem, though:
right after the start squeak consumes about 50% of the cpu. Starting
a ProcessBrowser does not reveal much:
(80) 3400: the timer interrupt watcher
(60) 2706: the vent tickler
(60) 1082: the user interrupt watcher
(60) 2861: the low space watcher
(50) 602: the WeakArray finalization process
(40) 1849: the UI process
(40) 643: my auto-update process
(10) 3522: the idle process
I have not idea where and what to look for.
And I have a question. Is it right, that a vm build with src=src32 is
a 64 bit programm (like with src64) that runs "old" 32 bit images?
