sbcl fails to build using latest version, although also attempted to install using version 1.0.22 alone with same problem

*needed to run maxima, if no obvious solution is there any alternative way of getting maxima running. Thanks for any help

[easye]

ABCL runs maxima well. 'lang/abcl' contains ABCL.

Lack of access to Tiger/PPC machines essentially prevents any help in this regard. I could probably beg a new SBCL binary off the development group with enough whining, but then I wouldn't really be able to test it.

See ​http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.steel-bank.devel/14793.

Thanks for the help, two questions:

• If I install ABCL will macports then also install maxima even though sbcl is a dependent? If not is there a way of bypassing this?
• I have the binary for sbcl 2.0.22 which compiles okay outside of macports, can I use this then place the files in the appropriate locations in my macports effectively manually installing sbcl.

Replying to jlanglopez@…:

It looks like one could edit the maxima Portfile to include a variant for ABCL, but I haven't investigated it fully. I know that over the last year, the Maxima developers have worked with the ABCL developers to make ABCL a first-class platform for hosting Maxmima. When I get some time, I will look into adding an 'abcl' variant for the MacPorts Portfile.

*I have the binary for sbcl 2.0.22 which compiles okay outside of macports, can I use this then place the files in the appropriate locations in my macports effectively manually installing sbcl.

You probably mean the binary for sbcl-1.0.22. I think you could 'reset' the sbcl Portfile to build and install this version by setting the version to '1.0.22', and updating the checksums.

[jlanglopez@…]

Yeah sorry did mean 1.0.22.

I have tried installing the 1.0.22 binary (am I right in thinking this is what the ppc uses, and the latest version of sbcl just installs this when it detects ppc architecture?) using the subversion command and also by downloading the relevant pre update portfile but neither worked.

If I install the 1.0.22 binary using the terminal alone i.e not through macports it builds properly. Can I specify a folder in mcaports to build to so that it will detect sbcl? Could I this by manually placing the relevant files?

[easye]

r78540 updates the PPC binary to 1.0.47, which may fix.

Will someone with Tiger/PPC please test?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I can confirm that fixed it.
