PicoLisp does indeed depend on itself, but it comes with pre-built *.ll files, so make should succeed out of the box. Only if you modify *.l files, the *.ll files need to be rebuilt, and this requires a running picolisp. However, if you clone from a repo, the file timestamps may be destroyed, and make possibly finds *.l files newer than the *.ll files. The best is you fetch the TGZ with the rolling release https://software-lab.de/pil21.tgz File meta data are preserved in tar files. This is also described in https://software-lab.de/INSTALL Good luck! :) ☺/ A!ex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
