Following the standard instructions (no config customization), I managed to build a vm !

For some reason, no X11 support was built, but I now have

-rwxr-xr-x �1 pi pi � 9349 Nov 24 14:15 so.vm-display-null
-rwxr-xr-x �1 pi pi � 6278 Nov 24 14:15 so.vm-sound-null
-rwxr-xr-x �1 pi pi 894438 Nov 24 14:15 squeakvm

and I can run headless Pharo 1.4 doing HTTP and stuff.

I guess I'll have to study the build process and options a bit more.

I would like to have at least X11 support, but reducing the builtin plugins to have a smaller executable interests me too.

Thanks again for the help.

Sven
