Re: [Squeak-VMdev] Re: link errors on building new VM

[Andreas R. <and...@gm...>]

As always, if people grab the code hot off the press they should EXPECT it 
to break. There are plenty of places to grab KNOWN TO WORK tar balls, zip 
files etc. - I don't see any reason to respond to anyone's individual 
complaints. You want the latest stuff? You get it. Don't complain that you 
got what you wanted.

If you want stable, known-to-work configuration use the ones that are 
released or wait for the next release (which will as surely come as the next 
spring).

Cheers,
  - Andreas
