[Vm-dev] Re: [Pharo-users] Compiling cog 2363 in gentoo (amd 64)

[Mariano Martinez Peck]

Thanks Panu. It is really nice when people spend time to document and share

I cc'ed the VM mailing list. I don't know why but something tell me that the
UUID was finally fixes in latest VMMaker (not sure at all. And even less
sure in Cog).

Thanks!
