Ah right, the vm-* plugins might have some tighter integration with the VM than regular plugins.
But it should still work to just copy all needed vm header files to a directory and compile the plugin's source to a shared library. And since this would be specific to a single Linux distro, it wouldn't even need fancy makefile magic, you could just hard-code all the arguments. I have not actually done this myself for a vm-* plugin, but it shouldn't be much harder than this: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html#AEN95 - Bert - On 17.02.2010, at 15:25, John Maloney wrote: > > Hi, Bert. > > Re: Actually, you would just need some Squeak VM header files to build the > plugin. > > I know this is the case in theory, and I've built other plugins that way.
