The problem is the trunk version don't have the resources directory and the SqueakVMForCarbon.xcodeproj (someone delete this files), the resource directory can be recreated, but recreating the xcodeproj is a ugly work.

So what I need to proceed is a copy of the files of Squeak 4.2.5beta1U (or at least from a older version of 4.2) who include the resource/xcodeproj.
