[comp.lang.icon] Icon on RISC machines

ol@CERISI.CERISI.FR (Lecarme Olivier) (02/06/90)

Our laboratory and computing center are just buying brand new RISC
machines made by DEC (or more precisely, sold by DEC). On these
machines, Unix or something like this is supposed to work, but most
programming languages have been forgotten: after all, C is enough for
everything, or is it not enough after all? Thus, I'm missing Pascal,
Modula-2... and Icon!

Being naturally optimistic, I tried to pretend to the Icon installation
that this machine is in fact a Vax with Ultrix. Something went wrong
during "make Icon", in program rlocal.c of src/iconx. I could try to
figure what happened, but it's somewhat late for working, and I
preferred to ask the Icon community whether anybody has already made the
job. Maybe I made a mistake when copying the whole Icon distribution, or
maybe something more serious is happening.

Can anybody help me?
