I have been having troubles compiling the Victoria Day version of PCL under MACL 1.3.1. It is documented to have been tested under MACL 1.2.2. Has anyone else had such problems? Better yet, will going after a newer release help? - Perry (palexander@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu)

Note number 231. Following is from that note: If you have the Victoria-Day release of PCL, the following changes to the source code allow it to compile successfully under MACL 1.3.1: In file defsys.lisp: Find the defvar for *pcl-directory*. Within it, find the conditional for MACL (#+:coral). Change the pathname parameter to point to your PCL folder (e.g., "ccl;PCL:"). Also find the let of files-renamed and change its binding to nil. In file coral-low.lisp: Comment out both the ccl::add-transform and its inline proclamation. Neither is helpful in 1.3.1 (in fact, the add-transform is broken with respect to 1.3.1). In file fin.lisp: Immediately before the closing R); End of #+:coralS that you find near the end of the file, add: (defun print-uvector-object (obj stream &optional print-level) (declare (ignore print-level)) (print-object obj stream)) (pushnew (cons 'ccl::funcallable-instance #'print-uvector-object) ccl:*write-uvector-alist* :test #'equal) In addition to these code changes, there are some environmental settings that are useful or necessary when compiling Victoria-Day PCL. You should use the following settings: (setq *WARN-IF-REDEFINE-KERNEL* nil) (setq *COMPILER-WARNINGS* nil) (setq *FASL-COMPILER-WARNINGS* nil) (setq *FAST-EVAL* nil) These settings eliminate loads of warnings that you would otherwise get when compiling or loading PCL. In particular, you must bind or assign nil to *FAST-EVAL* for the file test.lisp to load correctly. ------------------------------- Robert Dominy NASA Goddard Space Flight Center

I have successfully compiled 2/16/90 Rainy day PCL (beta3)
under MACL 1.3.1 on an SE (4MB, system 6.0.4) without difficulty,
but have not given PCL significant tests.

The fixes for compiling the Victoria Day version of PCL under MACL 1.3.1 are included in the latest version of Mac Tech Note #231. The TNs are ftp-able from apple.com in the ftp/pub/dts/mac/tn directory. I could post it here if there are a lot of people who can't use ftp, otherwise I can mail it out. -jeremy bornstein death dwarf/minraud macdts
