We have kcl (Kyoto Common Lisp) running here on our sun3's
with no trouble. However, we have recently received some sun4's,
and the file "bitop.c" in kcl does not support the sparc architecture.
I would appreciate any information on porting this to a sun4.
thanks,
Louis

They are used for one machine but should work either as-is or with slight modification on others. Is that the only thing that doesn't work?

We've been running KCL on SUN 3s for a year now. We just completed upgrading all of our hardware to SUN 4s (with lots of guarantees that everything would work _just_fine_) and find that KCL won't compile on the SUN4. We're running SunOS 4.1.1 (probably the export version). Does anyone know what the fixes might be? Failing that, does anyone have KCL (or Austin KCL) running on a SUN 4 that we can ftp (or get a tape)? We have the license already, no problem. We just need a working copy. Thanks in advance.

In SunOS 4.0 and greater, the format of object files has been changed so that older versions of AKCL don't compile anymore. This has been fixed some time ago. The current version on Rascal.ICS.UTexas.EDU (128.83.138.20) is -rw-r--r-- 1 root 706107 Jan 8 16:39 akcl-1-530.tar.Z You will find it in the `/pub' subdirectory of the anonymous FTP archive. I recommend that you use GCC as the back end of the KCL compiler (if you have it). As of its current version, it will generate slightly worse code than Sun's new optimizing CC, but the compilation speed is usually MUCH higher. -- Simon.
