[Openmcl-devel] Cygwin rebuild

Thu Aug 2 12:50:38 PDT 2012

Note that TFM notes (or should note) that

(rebuild-ccl :full t)

doesn't work as expected unless you're willing to jump through some
hoops; that would try to overwrite the running CCL executable and
Windows doesn't allow that.

(rebuild-ccl :clean t)

will rebuild the heap image from .lisp sources using the running
kernel.

Some people advocate getting around this by using a copy of the
ccl kernel to run (REBUILD-CCL :FULL T), but I personally find
that confusing; I find it less confusing to use the :CLEAN option
and build the kernel in the shell.

As far as actually building a Cygwin CCL, there seem to be two sets
of issues.

- the Cygwin C library is significantly more POSIX-y than whatever
   combination of MSVC and mingw would otherwise be in effect.  We
   make very little use of the C library for I/O on Windows and generally
   do I/O at the Windows level, and it's not clear that we'd be able to
   avoid that by using the Cygwin libraries.  (If not - but if you wanted
   interoperability with Cygwin - you'd wind up doing path translation
   manually.)

- cygwin.dll is GPL'ed, which means that applications that link against
   it are subject to different licensing constraints than those imposed
   by the (L)LGPL. This has made the idea of pursuing a cygwin-native
   CCL unattractive to many people (including Clozure.)

If you want native Windows applications (including CCL) to interoperate
well with Cygwin applications ... good luck.  (I'd like the same thing,
but I've pretty much resigned myself to not expecting much and to doing
ad hoc things like those that you describe to make things less painful.)
