I've been able to get Scheme to link under System V Release 2 on an NCR Tower 32. This is 68020-based. I've had to modify the C preprocessor (may the source be with you), and have had to make some minor additions/changes to unix.c, config.h - the usual things from what I can tell. I'm starting to get excited. Maybe it will work, eh? (Canadian accent showing...) But No... Here's what happened in the next step: cd /usr/craig/Scheme/ make runtime/scheme.bin cd runtime; rm -f *.bin etc/make_bin Psbtobin /usr/craig/Scheme/runtime/Sgraph.psb : : (Additional stuff deleted) : Psbtobin /usr/craig/Scheme/runtime/sdata.psb /usr/craig/Scheme/microcode/Psbtobin: Segmentation violation -- Core dumped *** Error code 1 Stop. Compilation exited abnormally with code 1 at Wed Dec 30 16:12:06 Gag, gag, gag. Looking into the source code there's nothing obvious. Could some kind soul out there point me in the right direction. I've found at least one definate bug in the distributed code. Maybe there's another??? I would really LOVE to get this stuff working. Once working I hope to modify GNU cpp so that others can use it on SYSVR2. (I've already tried, but GNU cpp gets VERY confused trying to play with all the defines - even more than USG cpp. Just need more time.) Any help offers??? Please??? -- R.
