+Let us check that our additions do not break the VM build - so far we nearly do anything that could but this way you can practice.
+Note that we only compile the VM interpreter without the JIT compiler.

+- First save your code, the build will take the current branch has input.

+- Go to the iceberg folder in the pharo-local folder and execute the following. Here we asked to grab the binaries of external projects to make the compilation faster.

 ```
 cmake -S iceberg/pharo-vm -B build -DFLAVOUR=StackVM -DPHARO_DEPENDENCIES_PREFER_DOWNLOAD_BINARIES=TRUE
-cmake --build build --target=install
 ```
 
-We can now launch the resulting VM

+Then we compile the Vm and the result will be in the build folder.
