For Pharo (and relatives like Squeak and Cuis) there are two parts: VM and image. To build your own VM, follow the README's instructions for the OpenSmalltalk VM: https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm As for building your own images, for now, I suggest to use the standard downloadable images.
