There have been a couple of articles recently about problems with building AKCL under SunOS4.1. I've got AKCL built under 4.0.3 and its still running now we are using 4.1. I guess I will have to rebuild sometime and I would like to know what the solution to the problem is. I've tried mailing those people who posted on this, but I cant get through.

I'm posting the following for Fred Lakin, who has a temporary fix
to the problem. Please contact him for further info, not me.

Subject: Sparc hints for AKCL under 4.1
john, i have kept this under my hat and just mailed it to requesters
since it's rather informal. also, i can't figure out how to post
to comp.lang.lisp . however, looks like the time to forward it
if you could help me out. tnx, f
;;************************************
TO BUILD AKCL UNDER SUN OS 4.1:
(completely unauthorized quick hacks -- a new release should come out
soon with the official fixes, but in the meantime works for me)
In the akcl directory, make these changes
1) add exit(0); to the end of main(..){... exit(0);} in ../unixport/rsym.c
(this fixes another problem you havent seen until you fix the magic prob)
2) Change in file ../cmpnew/cmpmain.lsp
#+unix
(defun compiler-build (o-pathname data-pathname)
#+(and system-v (not e15))
(safe-system (format nil "echo \"\\000\\000\\000\\000\" >> ~A"
(namestring o-pathname)))
#+(or sun sgi)
(with-open-file (o-file
(namestring o-pathname)
:direction :output
:if-exists :append)
#+sgi ; we could do a safe-system, but forking is slow on the Iris
(dotimes (i 12)
(write-char #\^@ o-file))
#+sun ; secondary magic
(dolist (v '(0 0 4 16 0 0 0 0))
(write-byte v o-file))
)
(when (probe-file o-pathname)
(safe-system (format nil #-dgux "cat ~A >> ~A"
#+dgux "~Abuild_o ~A ~A"
#+dgux (namestring si:*system-directory*)
(namestring data-pathname)
(namestring o-pathname)))))
3) Finally, altho i think step 2 above should insert the required
secondary number (1040 and 0), do this also just for luck:
Create a file ../h/secondary_magic with the following 8 chars in it:
"^@^@^D^P^@^@^@^@"
(even tho i had to email them as 16). NO carriage returns.
and then modify ../h/sun4.defs by adding the line
NULLFILE = ../h/secondary_magic
this should set the env var, but just in case i also do
setenv NULLFILE ../h/secondary_magic
in the shell before the build
4) Clean out old stuff if nec in akcl dir:
rm o/*.o
rm lsp/*.o
rm unixport/*.o
rm cmpnew/*.o
setenv NULLFILE ../h/secondary_magic
and THEN
make -f Smakefile
good luck, f
