[Openmcl-devel] Building from CVS

[David Steuber]

Hi,

Maybe I'm doing something stupid, but I've been using the following 
shell script to build OpenMCL when I do a cvs up:

david at interloper:~/usr/src/ccl-dev/ccl
$ cat build-openmcl.sh
#!/bin/sh

cd lisp-kernel/darwin/
make clean
make
cd -

./dppccl -e "(progn \
                (xload-level-0 :force) \
                (compile-ccl t) \
                (quit))"

echo "(save-application \"dppccl.image\")" | ./dppccl ppc-boot.image

This has been working fine until I tried it today (first time since 
just after 0.14.3 was released).  The repository I'm using is:

david at interloper:~/usr/src/ccl-dev/ccl
$ cat CVS/Repository
/usr/local/tmpcvs/ccl-0.14-dev/ccl

There are two seperate problems.  When I used the script, the new 
dppccl went straight into the kernel debugger when it started:

Unhandled exception 11 at 0x00004280, context->regs at #xbffff608
Read operation to unmapped address 0x6a260006
  In foreign code at address 0x00004280
? for help
[16404] OpenMCL kernel debugger:

I quit out of that because I don't know how to do anything useful with 
the kernel debugger.  I figured perhaps the new Lisp image was expected 
to be different, so I restored the old dppccl and tried to just compile 
the new Lisp image first.  This also failed:

Maybe I simply checked out a broken file from CVS.  If not, how do I 
bootstrap to the current bleeding edge?

I can just hang back and work with 0.14.3 but I figured that by working 
with bleeding edge I could also be a tester in the event I somehow 
exercise a lesser used branch of code.  I can also try going back to 
CVS and updating from each checkin since 0.14.3 was released.  I think 
that still leaves a bootstrapping problem though.  How do you normally 
deal with this issue?

Oh, I'm running OS X 10.3.8 on a G4 with the gcc compiler from Xcode 1.5
