[Ecls-list] Problem in ECL init on IPhone

Sun Jan 30 23:55:03 UTC 2011

I tried building the tip.  First, let me qualify, while I'm handy with
Lisp itself (and getting emacs running), I'm from more of a MS/Devstudio
background.  So if I overlook something in what you've said or something
obvious it's not laziness or belligerence; but I may generally not have
gotten it.

As to your question:  It's theoretically possible that if I get you a
provisioning profile you could run a binary on a modern iPod; but to do
any real debugging you'd need XCode etc. . .

What I just attempted:
1.  I just reimplemented the instructions at the link I sent you
earlier, to the same results - simulator worked, device build looped
churning ram until running out of ram.

2.  I pulled the tip from sourceforge git clone
git://ecls.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/ecls/ecl and configured/built it
standalone on the mac.  This compiled; but not meaningful for iOS.

3.  I pulled the tip from sourceforge git clone
git://ecls.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/ecls/ecl and ran the build.sh
script in the instructions.  I did NOT run the patch (as it would
corrupt the makefile in a prior attempt).  However, hit a compile/link error

Step 3 yielded the  error below:  Is this something trivial I can change?
