#231 CLISP 2.33.2 fails to build on OSF/1 5.1
I downloaded the CLISP 2.33.2 release from ftp.gnu.org and
attempted to build it with:
./configure --build dec-cc
on OSF1 V5.1 (a.k.a. Tru64). I am using the system C compiler,
cc, version 6.4-008. gcc is not available on this particular system.
The build fails when attempting to link lisp.run:
cc -O -DUNICODE -DDYNAMIC_FFI -DNO_GETTEXT -DNO_SIGSEGV
-I. spvw.o spvwtabf.o spvwtabs.o spvwtabo.o eval.o control.o
encoding.o pathname.o stream.o socket.o io.o array.o hashtabl.o
list.o package.o record.o sequence.o charstrg.o debug.o error.o
misc.o time.o predtype.o symbol.o lisparit.o i18n.o foreign.o
unixaux.o modules.o libcharset.o libavcall.o libcallback.a -ltermcap
-liconv -o lisp.run
ld:
Unresolved:
update
make: *** [lisp.run] Error 1
Checking the .o files with nm reveals that spvw.o is the object file
which contains the unresolved `update' function

update() is a macro, not a function in spvw.d
if it does not defined, there is something deeply wrong.
could you please try to figure out why it is not defined?

On a machine with a slightly newer compiler ("cc -V" prints
Compaq C V6.4-009 on Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1A (Rev. 1885)
Compiler Driver V6.4-008 (sys) cc Driver
) there is no problem: lisp.run is linked without problems by the
command
cc -O -O -DUNICODE -DDYNAMIC_FFI -DNO_GETTEXT
-DNO_SIGSEGV -I. spvw.o spvwtabf.o spvwtabs.o
spvwtabo.o eval.o control.o encoding.o pathname.o stream.o
socket.o io.o array.o hashtabl.o list.o package.o record.o
sequence.o charstrg.o debug.o error.o misc.o time.o
predtype.o symbol.o lisparit.o i18n.o foreign.o unixaux.o
modules.o libcharset.a libavcall.a libcallback.a -ltermcap -liconv
-o lisp.run
So it looks like a preprocessor bug to me that should be fixed if
you upgrade your C compiler.
Or install a recent GCC.
