Re: Building on linux

Regarding assembly, I finished to get rid of inline assembly in the VM
(mostly by replacing code by C equivalents, or using code generation
where appropriate), and strongtalk compiles successfully with gcc on
windows (mingw).

The resulting binary doesn't work fully yet (problems in the OS layer)

With this done, language-level issues are solved, the major issue to
port the VM to linux is now OS interaction.

Btw, if you disable os::message_box, strongtalk on windows XP has only
dependencies on kernel32.dll. Hence porting the VM looks fairly easy.
But much code won't work in the image (I/O, UI, etc ..)

I'll provide the sourcecode if anyone is interressed, but it's still
work in progress.
