BTW, you question is about becoming good at VM development, so actually the compilation of the VM itself is a very very very little part of the whole picture.  
yeah, I could keep adding ���very���s there ;)

Hi
After the effort made by igor stasenko building the VM is a lot simpler than it used to.
Did you try to compile the Pharo VM on your platform?
Did you experience some problems?
We should probably add a resource page to get started. I do not have the information but
we can ask esteban.

yes��� PharoVM is built as described here: 


if you follow those instructions, you will have no problems. 
The process is running everyday so it *is* working. 
Windows guys can have problems if they change mingw version, etc. They shouldn���t, but since this is over our control, I cannot assure you anything. 
Others problems that have emerged with time (in linux) is people forgetting they need 32bit library versions to be able to build��� 

anyway��� that should be enough��� for most people, once fulfilled requirements, build VM is as easy as: 

1) clone
2) cd image; sh ./newImage.sh ; ./pharo generator.image eval ���PharoVMBuilder build"
3) cd ../build ; sh build.sh

cheers, 
Esteban


Stef
Thanks to all for your responses.
I am carefully reading the material presented by you. Ideally I will like to
compile the VM into Chrome's NaCL to run an image under Chrome OS. But first
things first, as they say. I have to understand the Squeak/Pharo VM.
One question, is Mariano's blog still relevant? It seems to me that Pharo VM
is not build that way anymore?
