Hi Rob,

  I have had recurring problems building a vm on Windows.

  1) I first tried loading the latest version of VMMaker (VMMaker-dtl.185) into a Squeak-4.2 image (10382).  When I ran make it complained about a number of plugins, starting with UUIDPlugin:

  UIDPlugin/sqWin32UUID.c:27: undefined reference to `primitiveFail'

  2) I tried loading VMMaker-John M McIntosh.184 instead and same result

  3) I was advised to load the Metacello load of VMMaker, which includes VMMaker-dtl.169.   This was complicated by double-encoded strings.  Past that issue and got it loaded.  Generated and ran make.  Same issue with UUIDPlugin.

  I cannot build a vm.



Have you tried building a Cog VM recently?  The advantage this has is that everything you need to build is already in the svn repository.  
See http://www.squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/branches/Cog/cygwinbuild/HowToBuild
