[Ecls-list] ECL and Snow Leopard (10.6)

[Kamil Shakirov]

Hi,

Has anyone tried to build ECL on Snow Leopard OS (Xcode installed with  
10.4 support)?

I used the following configure options.

./configure --prefix=$HOME/local/lisp/ecl --enable-slow-config -- 
enable-threads --enable-unicode

The build fails on compiling GC because ucontext routines are  
deprecated in Snow Leopard. After adding the missing flag to configure  
script GC builds without errors.

diff --git a/src/configure b/src/configure

But ECL still fails to compile when it starts ecl_min:

...
echo "#" `uname -a` > BUILD-STAMP
head -8 config.log | tail -6 >> BUILD-STAMP
cp /Users/kamil/temp/ecl/src/../contrib/unicode/ucd.dat .
if [ -f CROSS-COMPILER ]; then \
		./CROSS-COMPILER compile; \
	else \
		ECLDIR=`pwd`/ ./ecl_min compile; \
	fi
