OK, RISC OS Pi squeak is now available as a tentative demo pre-alpha possibly useful maybe release at http://www.rowledge.org/tim/squeak/Squeak3-9-RISCOS.zip If you try it and like it, remember to mentally thank Chris Cunnington for providing the dev-tools and the Pi Foundation for providing the tasty Pi. And offer up wishes for somebody realising that they need to *pay me* to develop stuff.
Apparently Scratch runs on it, though I haven't tried and wouldn't really have any current experience to judge it by.
Hi Tim,
Very cool, and nice to see Squeak running again on STINU (*). I have to ask - were you able to do this with an up to date VMMaker with closures etc? I confess that I was a bit worried that the various changes to VMMaker since the last RISC OS release would cause a real mess. Hopefully it was not too bad?
I do think that it would be a sad injustice if the RISC OS community was deprived of the ability to run 64-bit Squeak images on Raspberry Pi. So I think you should try compiling with -D SQ_VI_BYTES_PER_WORD=8 and see if the resulting vm can run a 64-bit image like the one here:
