Thank you. It is not about how to build a vm. I do have some experience on this (mostly squeak vm). But I find it rather difficult to follow the current active way on doing so. In Mariano blogs he is using vmmaker tool as well. It just didn't work for pharo anymore. For example, you can load vmmaker packages. (really difficult on with a normal image (you need all kind of dependent packages), or you can use the generator.image from pharo.src. But VMMakerTool openInWorld fails. I don't know - why, - if it is supposed to do so, - or how other people working with vm source.
