I downloaded [https://swing.fit.cvut.cz/download/smalltalkx/devel/2020-02-24_805/smalltalkx-jv-branch-8.0.99_build805_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2 this] 64bit build (branch 8.0.99 build 805) for linux and extracted the files. The system I use is Arch Linux with kernel 5.2.13. To start Smalltalk/X is just used the shell script in the bin directory. When I try to build the application with the packager it fails with the following error: {{{ Cannot figure out my top directory (where stx/include and stx/rules are) }}} Nowhere in the downloaded files can i find ""rules"" nor am i unsure what ""include"" should contain. Even if i try to add a package repository that contains these files (such that they are present in ""Smalltalk packagePath"") the build process still fails because it can't find the file ""stmkmf"" in the ""stx/rules"" directory. I found the stmkmf in the source here on trac and also [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GunterMueller/ST_STX_Fork/d891b139f3c016b81feeb5bf749e60585575bff7/bin/stmkmf.rb here]. It looks like to me that there's a lot missing in order to actually build a native executable. And unfortunately there's no documentation whatsoever about his, besides the one that says it can be done easily in 5 minutes without any configuration or installation of extra build tools. How to actually do this? Thank you very much! Kind regards, wottis ",defect,closed,major,,default,fixed,linux,,0
