ECL on MacOSX -- beta testers wanted

[Juanjo]

Hi,

I am working on the next release of ECL (A common-lisp implementation
which uses a Lisp->C translator and a bytecodes interpreter) and
wanted people to test it a little bit before making a package.

USING THE CODE FROM CVS, ECL compiles under MacOSX and passes the test
suite just like in other supported platforms (FreeBSD, Linux i386,
Linux PPC). The port uses the Boehm-Weiser garbage collector v 6.1 and
produces statically linked executables. If somebody figures out how to
manage dynamically linked librares under MacOSX, please tell me!

TIA,

Juanjo

Hello Juanjo,

There was a typo on this line:

> cvs -d:peserver:anon...@cvs.ecls.sf.net:/cvsroot/ecls login

It should be:

> cvs -d:pserver:anon...@cvs.ecls.sf.net:/cvsroot/ecls login

I am building the system on Mac OS X as we speak :-)
I will send you a private email letting you know if I have
problems.
