Hello,
After a long period of little lisp activity, I've just downloaded
the CVS version of matlisp via
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/matlisp\
co matlisp
to try it with SBCL running on Gentoo Linux. The INSTALL file begins
/----
| Requirements:
| =============
| Either CMUCL (version 18b), SBCL (version 0.8.5) or
| Allegro CL (version 5.0 or later) is required.
No mention of SBCL there...
| * Allegro CL: Matlisp should compile on Linux, Solaris, Windows.
| In particular, Matlisp relies on the foreign
| function interface of Allegro CL.
|
| * CMU CL: Matlisp should compile on Linux, Solaris.
| In particular, Matlisp relies on the foreign function
| interface of CMU CL and the built-in type
| kernel::complex-double-float.
|
| * SBCL: Matlisp should compile on Linux and MacOS X
| In particular, Matlisp relies on the foreign function
| interface of SBCL.
\----
...but that last paragraph is encouraging. The detailed instructions
include
/----
| 4. Configure the system.
| o If you're using Allegro CL, specify --with-lisp=acl.
| o If you're using CMU CL, specify --with-lisp=cmucl
| o If you're using SBCL, specify --with-lisp=sbcl
| o Give the name of the Lisp executable via --with-lisp-exec=<name>
| o Run configure:
|
| ./configure --with-lisp=<lisp> --with-lisp-exec=<exec> --prefix=`pwd`
\----
so I tried
# ./configure --with-lisp=sbcl --with-lisp-exec=/usr/bin/sbcl --prefix=`pwd`
only to be told
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
configure: error: Unknown Lisp system: sbcl. Supported systems are acl and cmucl
Now, I know one plays with CVS versions at his own risk, and I'm
probably being dense to boot, but there's enough there to suggest
matlisp ought to work with SBCL that I thought it might be worth a
note. Will someone please enlighten me about the status of SBCL
compatibility, or point out where I've gone wrong in the ./configure
line? Thanks!
