Re: Need help compiling the JIT

Thank you for all the info! I thought I have the ELPA version, but apparently, I downloaded just `smalltalk-mode.el` some time ago (like, in 2014...) and I've been using that version all along. I'll update and see which of my changes still apply (if any).

Final questions:

1. Should I re-post the #valueIfAbsent: bug properly in a new thread?

2. I encountered some problems compiling GST - in the code generated from 'genbc-impl.y' apparently. Which build tools versions I should include in the bug report in this case, and also in general?


Best regards,
Piotr Klibert
