Re: [Tack-devel] all of Ack-5.5 under Linux

[David G. <dg...@co...>]

Very belatedly, I got em binaries working with the 6.0 stream, and there's
a basic em22 platform. It's all in head of git and it's built automatically
so you can just check out, build, install, and do:

$ /usr/local/lib/ack/int /usr/local/share/ack/examples/mandelbrot_c.em22

...and it should work. However, I discovered huge problems with the libc in
the process and it needs refactoring --- turns out that it largely only
works by accident at the moment, so I'm taking some time out to try and fix
that before adding em24 and em44.
