Re: Strongtalk from scratch

As I understand it, the situation is this:

Images cannot yet be built from scratch.  Apparently there is still some
voodoo in this space that Dave Griswold is working on.

"Trunk Build VM " -- can be built from scratch only if you have a copy of
Turbo Assembler from Borland, otherwise you need M$ Visual Studio, and you
use the pre-provided COFF obj files

There is a patch in the mailing archive that enables you to build the VM
with MinGW under Windows, again using the COFF obj files provided by Thiago

I am working on a "pure" linux port of the VM and having much fun with the
assembler which someone else noted should be trivial to port -- I bow to his
skills if to him, this is trivial.

regards,
   the other Dave.
