This article contains explanations on how to build your own Squeak VM.

Quick install

You need Gtk+ 2.12 and WebKit, once you've installed these libraries you
can install the SqueakVM you need a Squeak VM with the callback support,
so I've decided to patch the VM for you squeakGTK-3.10-1.tar.bz2.
With Monticello load vmmaker, also add this entry in the Monticello :

and load the last squeakGtk release.

After launch vmmaker and add the gtk plugin as an external plugin and click on the entire button. On the console do a :

• ./configure
• make
• make install

Requirements

GtkPlugin has been tested successfully on Slackware Linux with Gtk 2.8 and Squeak 3.9, so i would recommend to use the above tools.

Download

Download MC version and platform files from this page

Setup the VM

Untar downloaded platform files on top of the Squeak 3.9 VM, and you should have the following tree:

         |       `-- GtkPlugin

             |-- config
             |   `-- make.cfg.in
             `-- plugins
                 `-- GtkPlugin
                     |-- Makefile.inc
                     |-- acinclude.m4
