Is there a 32 bit version? how hard to adapt/compile one without previous experience ? I tried to do it with squeak and I realised that I should go in depth of cmake and c for configuration of generated vm and it’s kind of ruins the purpose because this is exactly what I’ve been trying to avoid (by all means) in the first place. I went through all of the trouble of generating vm just to face reality in which instead of smalltalk I had to deal with depths of c in all of it’s beautiful cmake complications because vm has failed to compile and even when it did it didn’t work on the target hardware because of some problem with sound. I didn’t need sound at all but I found it too time consuming to turn sound module if I recall it correctly. I was looking for absolutely minimalistic system like bare minimum to study it and I found it hard to achieve. I am curious how cuis different or the same in that regard? Where to get help in compiling one for a new hardware? Any insights/advices about this?
