The</div><div>Intel-64 version requires Leopard. The PowerPC version runs on Tiger. (The PPC</div><div>version should also run on Leopard, but I haven't tested it there because I don't</div><div>have Leopard installed on a PPC machine.)</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>The readme file includes pointers to a couple of simple examples that use Cocoa</div><div>as well as a higher-level window toolkit called EasyGUI.<br><br>Similar caveats apply to this release as did to the release we did about a week</div><div>ago for PPC/Tiger machines:</div><div><br></div><div>(a) we are still figuring out how best to package this up for distribution. So, for </div><div>example, the sources aren't included in this package (they have to be downloaded </div><div>separately), etc.<br>(b) it still has bugs and it is still missing features.<br><br>Even with these caveats, we think this is still a useful IDE, even if only to give you</div><div>a sense of the direction that Clozure is going with Clozure CL. Please let us know </div><div>what you think.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>For those who want to live on the bleeding edge, you can build the Clozure CL</div><div>Macintosh IDE by</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>1. Downloading and installing the latest OpenMCL snapshot from openmcl.clozure.com.</div><div>(Note that this version is from July).</div><div>2. Updating to the latest sources via CVS or SVN.</div><div>3. Rebuilding everything by starting up OpenMCL and calling (REBUILD-CCL :FULL T)</div><div>4. Quitting and restarting OpenMCL</div><div>5. Call (REQUIRE 'COCOA-APPLICATION)</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Oh, for step 3 to work you need to have xcode installed. As I said, we'll get documentation</div><div>for this out there, and package up a new snapshot as well some time soon.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Andrew</div></body></html>
