:rolleyes:
have been trying to get the gnu common lisp to compile on a jaguar G4 gives me a message after I enter "./configure"

"checking Checking for buggy gcc version from redhat... no
Unable to guess machine type
use configure --enable-machine=XXX, for XXX such that h/XXX.defs exists, ie in h/386-bsd.defs h/386-linux.defs h/FreeBSD.defs h/NeXT.defs h/NeXT30-m68k.defs h/NeXT32-i386.defs h/NeXT32-m68k.defs h/NetBSD.defs h/OpenBSD.defs h/alpha-osf1.defs h/arm-linux.defs h/dec3100.defs h/dos-go32.defs h/gnuwin95.defs h/hp300-bsd.defs h/hp300.defs h/hp800.defs h/irix5.defs h/irix6.defs h/m68k-linux.defs h/mac2.defs h/mingw.defs h/mips-linux.defs h/mipsel-linux.defs h/mp386.defs h/ncr.defs h/rios-aix3.defs h/rios.defs h/rt_aix.defs h/sgi.defs h/sgi4d.defs h/solaris-i386.defs h/solaris.defs h/sparc-linux.defs h/sun2r3.defs h/sun3-os4.defs h/sun3.defs h/sun386i.defs h/sun4.defs h/symmetry.defs h/u370_aix.defs h/vax.defs"

so my question is: since our wonderful OS is not listed in the h files, does anyone know how exactly where I could find one for OSX on a Mac or how I would go about making one. A have a bunch of stuff that I want to get ported that I cant do with out the GCL...
plz hlp. thanx

Maybe you could check other programs that compile on OSX if they are carrying the def and then transplant and edit the configure file???

Just a stab in the dark.

Best.
SA:)
 
Thankyou Very much buc.

And I agree on the subject of doing everything on the Mac. I havent found a single thing that I need a PeeCee for :)

You probably need to copy over the following files into the top level of the source dist,

/usr/share/libtool/config.guess
/usr/share/libtool/config.sub

These should overwrite simiarly named files already there and allow configure to guess the right system type.

Edit: I should note that if they don't have support for darwin, then even this won't help.
 
Actually, you should just be able to use
./configure --enable-machine=FreeBSD
since that is the system most similar to OS X. It's worked for me.

I hope you know that GNU Common Lisp is one of hte worst Lisps out there? So many people think that the GNU Moniker confers a bit of quality, in this case the anwser is no!

For OS X I would suggest Open MCL you can get it at OpenMCL

Now back to our regularly schedualed program....
