[Openmcl-devel] App Store CCL: how to run from command line?

[Ron Garret]

I’m not on Catalina so I cannot speak authoritatively on this, but people have apparently been experiencing some problems due to a bug in the new xcode assembler.  But the docs on how to build from source are here:

https://ccl.clozure.com/manual/chapter3.html

AFAIK you need to have an older version of xcode installed in order to get this to work at the moment.  A fix is being worked on.

You need to build a command line version, one that does not include the GUI framework, from source and then run that.

If you have some way to test CCL unattended (Jenkins, travis, etc.) on multiple operating systems, I would love to get the head version of ASDF hooked into that -- I don't really have the resources to do this myself any more. Right now I just test on my laptop and on linux, and I cannot test any implementations on Windows.
