Here is my current recipe:

1) Load VMMaker from SqueakMap.

2) Load the 32/64 bit-clean change sets. Presumably these will be merged into
VMMaker, but in the mean time John has stashed them in the SVN platform
sources. Go to platforms/Mac OS/vm/specialChangeSets/VmUpdates-dtl/ and
load the following change sets:
        VmUpdates-1001-dtl.1.cs
        VmUpdates-1002-dtl.1.cs
        VmUpdates-1003-dtl.1.cs
        VmUpdates-1004-dtl.1.cs
        VmUpdates-1005-dtl.1.cs
        VmUpdates-1006-dtl.1.cs
        JMM-VmUpdates32bitclean.2.cs

3) Load the fix from Mantis 5688 (otherwise you cannot use SqueakMap):
        http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=5688

4) Load the fix from Mantis 5238 (needed only for 64 bit image, but you
may as well fix it while you're updating the rest):
        http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=5238

5) Load the fix from Mantix 5403 (you don't need this, but I do):
        http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=5403

6) Load SlangBrowser (you don't need it, but you'll want it if you are
going to look at the VM and plugin code):
        http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=5932
        http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/5916

7) Load the 32/64 bit updates for AsyncFilePlugin:
        http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/vm-dev/2007-November/001675.html

8) Load the 32/64 bit updates for FileCopyPlugin:
        http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/vm-dev/2007-November/001679.html

9) Load the 32/64 bit updates for LargeIntegersPlugin (unit tests only, the
plugin is good as long as you have installed the Mantis 5238 patch from step 4):
        http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/vm-dev/2007-November/001693.html

That's all for now,

Dave
