Hi,
Since the simulator was broken for quite a while now, I thought I'd give it a try to fix it (it would be a pitty if this nice piece of work gets lost over time...). What I've got now works pretty well, except for some UI issues, mainly concerning output of text. For instance, most of the labels in the menus are not visible (see screenshot below). But apart from that, it seems to run just fine, and that's enough for what I need it.
In case anybody is interested in the changes, let me know where I should post them. There are VMM projects on squeaksource.com and on source.squeakfoundation.org, but both seem unused. I started working from the VMM image of Ian from http:// www.squeakvm.org/unix/release/ (version unix-3.9-10.*).
Cheers, Adrian

The VMMaker on squeaksource is the latest as far as I can tell. You could post your changes as a reply to bug 6555: http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6555

Nah. I haven't had an opportunity to do any updating for a very long time. The real-latest stuff is that on SM in the VMMaker 3.8b6 package.
Yes, there is a bunch of stuff that needs integrating. No, I don't have any time to do it now. Yes, I'm sure X would do a better job.

That would be a perfectly logical place to add it, yes. Thanks for spending time on fixing things, much appreciated.

Ok; good to know. I was using VMMaker 3.8b6, which is in 3.10 package universe.

I will upload my latest updates there too. I have done a bit more work since my last update, and I was able to partly simulate a 3.10 image on a 3.10 image. I havn't gotten mouse events to work yet though, but it appears that Adrian has.
I published a changeset to http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6555
I'm a bit confused, though, concerning the different versions. A diff between VMMaker 3.8b6 and the version I started from (unix-3.9-10.* from http://www.squeakvm.org/unix/release/) showed quite a lot of changes (both in the Interpreter and in Plugins). Which one is the latest/official version? In case VMMaker 3.8b6 is *the* version, does this mean that the unix VMs are built from different interpreter and plugin code?
Cheers, Adrian
