[comp.windows.x] compiling CLX using akcl on i386

woodward@uicbert.eecs.uic.edu (Jeff Woodward) (03/25/91)

i am trying to port the CLX ( Common Lisp Xwindow ) system to my 386 box
which is running akcl.  ( FINALLY got the port to work  ... first had to
port gcc/gas using coff-patches; i.e. therefore used gcc to create akcl )
the os i'm using is the ESIX expression of System V Release 3.2 unix.

however, here's the rub:  in defsystem.l, the routines make use of 
FASLINK and expect it to exist in SI.  the problem, of course, is that
when akcl is genned with the mp386 defs, FASLINK isn't included ( since
it is only built if a #define BSD is set, which System V unix ain't ) 
and any attempt to load defsystem.l bombs with the appropriate error
message.       

anyone else ever tried to port CLX to a 386 running akcl?
