Just wondering if anyone has build a 64-bit virtual machine for Pharo Or are you sticking to 32-bit. If so how do you build the virtual machine on a 64-bit system?

Hi Friedrich, For a standard VM, you get a 64-bit VM just by compiling the VM on a 64-bit platform and not using the -m32 compiler flag. It works fine, but some plugins have not been updated to be 32/64 bit clean, so for most folks it is better to just use the 32-bit version. Personally, I usually use a VM compiled for 64-bit, but there is no real advantage to doing this. Additional info is at http://www.squeakvm.org/squeak64/faq.html. Dave
