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

[Kamil Shakirov]

Hi Juan,

In both cases if ABI is defined as 32 or 64 ECL successfully builds as  
64bit binary in Snow Leopard. Without explicitly defined ABI ECL fails  
to start ecl_min. I also had to patch src/configure when ABI=32 is  
defined after getting the following error:

configure: Configuring included GMP library:
checking build system type... none-apple-darwin10.0.0
checking host system type... none-apple-darwin10.0.0
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no

checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of  
Makefiles... no
configure: error: ABI=mode32 is not among the following valid choices:  
long longlong
checking GMP autoconf... "yes.no.yes"
checking Using the GMP library to guess good compiler/linker flags...  
configure: error: Cannot find GMP's configuration file. Aborting

Should ECL include architecture feature symbol like :x86_64 when built  
with 64bit support? Now the *features* list still includes :i686:

(:DARWIN :FORMATTER :UINT64-T :UINT32-T :UINT16-T :RELATIVE-PACKAGE- 
NAMES
  :UNICODE :DFFI :CLOS-STREAMS :CMU-FORMAT :ECL- 
PDE :DLOPEN :CLOS :THREADS
  :BOEHM-GC :ANSI-CL :COMMON-LISP :IEEE-FLOATING-POINT :PREFIXED- 
API :FFI :I686
  :COMMON :ECL)
