I have managed to get a 64 bit image to the point where I can load VMMaker 3.8b6 from an MCZ file, and can generate a VM from recent Subversion sources (SVN 1546) directly from the 64 bit image. I generated internal plugins BallonEnginePlugin, BitBltSimulation, FilePlugin, and SocketPlugin along with external plugins AioPlugin, OSProcessPlugin, and XDisplayControlPlugin. After building the VM from these sources on an AMD 64 Linux system, I can run the 64 bit image on the new VM.
This is the first time that I have gotten a 64 bit image to be reasonably self-hosting with VMM and up-to-date SVN sources, so I thought it was worth a mention.

It seems that this is the big improvemnet for future development of 64 VM and images. At least people like i ( who is not dev. masters on C and Linux ) can try to use 64 bit squeak on their machines.
Please ask Ian to put it on squeakvm or at least update it once more on my ftp.barnet.sk l: squeak p: squeak.
Thanks Jan Barger

Jan,
I put sq64-10-dtl.tgz on your ftp site. This contains an image with VMMaker, OSPP, and a few unofficial fixes. You can use it with current platform sources from Subversion.
I don't think that anyone keeps images on squeakvm, aside from the original one that was provided a couple of years ago. You should consider that as a reference implementation that shows what can be done, not as a supported product. But the good news is that Ian and Dan did all of the hard work, and if a few of us pitch in to update the plugins and do some other maintenance work on it, then 64-bit Squeak will work just fine.

Hi, I dont want to supply squeakvm.org , but if anyone is seeking for 64bit squeak it is better to make some place which is for this temporary time alive and updated with any, for instance onofficial software if official is not in sync. Now this your work can be available for people who seek thru vm-dev and maybe more new people will start to work on 64bit vm.
J.
