pvaneyndThe apt-get archive for squeak seems to have gone, and the image it used does not provide the joystick interface I want to use, so I decided to have a look at rebuilding squeak with the library.
Next time people complain it is difficult to build cmucl they should be pointed at trying to build squeak! There is a rapport of a build problem with autoconf/automake that seems to have been ignored for months. I've tried to work around it but it seems almost hopeless.
It must be because I'm not in the same grove as the squeak hackers but to me it seems a disorganized, chaotic project that I fail to penetrate. Just look at the wiki page for downloading squeak and notice the self-doubting nature of that page. A shame really.
