If it builds then grab http://squeakland.org/content/installers/Etoys-To-Go-5.0.zip and try running the image in there

I should have added a link to the ‘how to make it’ page - http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6354

does a simple "yes" suffice here? Because I do that on my server (Debian GNU/Linux 8.9 (jessie) x64) quite irregularily…
FWIW, have a log attached :)

Hi Tobias,
Thanks for confirming this. If possible, could you also please try running an Etoys image, and see if it starts and runs?
The reason for asking is that Debian is going to remove the Etoys package due to a dependency on their old and modified version of squeakvm:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=862576
The Debian squeakvm package is very outdated, and has been modified in various ways by the Debian maintainers. I would like to suggest to them that they get rid of the broken code base and use the up to date VM code that you just tested.
The Debian bug report suggests a failure at runtime, so it would be good if we can verify that the Etoys image does run on the current squeakvm that you compiled. It works fine for me on my old Ubuntu system, but it might be that there are problems related to compilers or libraries on the latest Debian.
Thanks very much!
Dave

Well, that machine has no display, so I'm unsure here.

I'd also rather have that.

oh dear…

On my Raspis I run tvnserver and tvnviewer to run Squeak without xServer.
FWIW,
