Hello people,

with some help from Bryce, I've built the VM with Exupery plugin on 
Solaris 10/x86 and created a package.
You can get it from 
http://ftp.squeak.org/Exupery/vms/exupery-vm-0.09-solaris.pkg and 
install it with pkgadd.

The VM is based on unix-3.7-7 and contains everything except 
AsynchFilePlugin (which won't work on Solaris), MiscPrimitivePlugin 
(which won't build), and all the plugins not available on unix 
platforms, of course.

It's also built without iconv support, as squeak depends on gnu iconv 
behaviour ("MACINTOSH" table doesn't exist, "MAC" table, given as 
alternative, won't cooperate with utf-8, so is useless, too).

Also note that the package is built on Solaris 10u2 (06/06), so it 
might, or might not work on older releases.

The VM passed all but a few tests in Exupery's test suite, some of 
which are known-broken.

You still have to get yourself an image and the smalltalk part of 
Exupery to try it.

Have Fun,
Patrick Mauritz
