Re: GNU CLISP 2.49 (2010-07-07) released

Hi,

I tried to build cygwin and mingw versions with all those modules
Yaroslav included (and ffcall which he included but forgot to mention
in the description) and couldn't:

I'm having trouble to build libsvm in cygwin. BTW, this info in
impnotes (the part in the parens) is obsolete as libsvm is not in
clisp CVS tree:

This  is  an  “FFI”-based  interface  to  the  version  2.89 of LibSVM
(included in the source distribution in the directory modules/libsvm/,
so you do not need to install it yourself).

Also, I can't build mingw version with ffcall, though it's installed
cygwin-wide and included when I do cygwin build. When configuring with
mingw, configure cannot locate libffcall. First, it can't locate the
headers. When I set C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include, the headers are found
but the library is not. The symbol which isn't found is ___getreent:

lines from the terminal:

checking callback.h usability... yes
checking callback.h presence... yes
checking for callback.h... yes
checking for library containing __builtin_avcall... none required
checking for library containing trampoline_r_data0... no
checking whether libffcall is installed... no
configure: line 22901: i686-pc-cygwin: command not found
configure: error: despite --with-ffcall, FFCALL was not found

from the builddir/config.log:

configure:22855: gcc -mno-cygwin -o conftest.exe -g -O2 -I/cygdrive/e/clisp-cvs/libsigsegv/i686-pc-cygwin/include  conftest.c -lavcall -lcallback >&5
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/3.4.4/../../../libcallback.a(trampoline.o):trampoline.c:(.text+0x58): undefined reference to `___getreent'

I'm going to debug the missing library issue further and to build the
libsvm one day.

This

  configure: line 22901: i686-pc-cygwin: command not found

is I believe from the missing 'test' command in the line 22901 of
configure

  if  "$ac_cv_build" = "$ac_cv_host" ; then host_arg="";

, but I'm not sure where to fix it.
