The hardest parts likely have to do with differences in signal handling and signal contexts. There is a fair amount of code in the ccl kernel that needs to know about this stuff in detail and there's also some lisp code that does. I'd guess that most other code that's already conditionalized for freebsd wouldn't need to change much if at all.<br>

It runs on the x86 version, and, on NetBSD and <br />OpenBSD both on PPC. <br /><br />Someone, who's name I sadly forgot, ported SBCL to OpenBSD/PPC at the<br />same time I did, but, his patches were way way cleaner. My memory of<br />my port was that I did the absolute simpliest thing possible to allow<br />for PPC as a choice for OpenBSD, and, keep running a cross compile/fix<br />cycle until it built. Once it built I'm fairly sure it ran pretty <br />much correctly.<br /><br />I've never seriously looked at porting CCL, so I don't have a comment<br />on that.<br /><br />Good luck, it's nice to see intrest in PPC. <br /><br />If FreeBSD now works well on PPC I might be convinced to install it<br />and try a port.<br /><br />cheers<br />bruce<br /><br /><br />On Sat, Sep!

The trouble is that this platform is new for FreeBSD, and a quick search of supported platforms for SBCL ('this platform doesn't exist') and CCL (not listed as supported) makes me think (hope) that this is possible but perhaps something that no one has done yet.<br /><br />Does anyone know of it's possible to run CCL (or SBCL, or another LISP) on FreeBSD/PPC ?<br /><br />Cheers,<br />- Steve<br /><br /><br /><hr /><br />Openmcl-devel mailing list<br />Openmcl-devel@clozure.com<br /><a href="http://clozure.com/mailman/listinfo/openmcl-devel">http://clozure.com/mailman/listinfo/openmcl-devel</a></blockquote><br /><hr /><br />Openmcl-de!
