Hi, I'm the wrong Alex (and I'm probably wrong), but I would think that memory allocated by malloc() isn't managed by the GC. IDK if you can install finalizers or something similar. Best Regards, The Other Professor ^W Alex. Am 13. November 2020 16:30:01 MEZ schrieb C K Kashyap : >Thanks

Re: how to compile pil20 on termux

2020-11-22 Thread Alexander Shendi
Hi, I don't see any problems: You probably need to install the following packages: - clang - llvm - (GNU) make - libffi - readline - anything I forgot You may need to run termux-clean-elf on the "picolisp" executable and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH explicitly. Best Regards, Alexander Am 23. November

Pil21 on NetBSD9/aarch64

Dear Lisp, Happy Easter! I have tried building pil21 under NetBSD 9/aarch64. I tried to use Ersatz-picolisp under OpenJDK8 to generate the *.ll files to bootstrap pil21, but it seems some language constructs used in llvm.l are not supported. What is the best way to work around thus? TIA. Bes

Hi all 1. Yes, Makefile and lib.c as included in pil21/src. 2. No, I built pil21/bin/picolisp directly. The two bitcode files base.bc and ext.bc were already included and I was able to build lib.bc from the modified lib.c (with the clang C compiler). After that I just typed: touch *.bc ; make.

Hi, The build of the Emu picolisp variant does not work for me. It first compiles a program called sysdefs, then crashes because it can't find emu.code.l. If you do . /sysdefs > emu.code.l the it fails with another error. Best Regards, Alexander Am 12. April 2020 15:31:50 MESZ schrieb Alexand

The patches are already in the latest pil21.tgz. You only need to edit the MAIN variable in the Makefile to include "-L/usr/local/lib" and to delete "-ldl". Other prerequisites are: 1. A working pil64 installation. 2. pil in you PATH 3. The llvm and libffi packages installed. Best Regards, Alex
