Installing clisp from source

Jeff91 · 01-08-2010, 11:06 AM

I'm attempting to install clisp from source and I get the following message at the end of running ./configure

Code:

To continue building CLISP, the following commands are recommended
  (cf. unix/INSTALL step 4 ff):
    cd src
    vi config.lisp
# The default stack size on your platform is insufficient
# and must be increased to at least 16384.  You must do either
# 'ulimit -s 16384' (for Bourne shell derivatives, e.g., bash and zsh)
# or 'limit stacksize 16384' (for C shell derivarives, e.g., tcsh)
    make
    make check

I did as it suggests and opened the config.lisp but I am unsure where I add the unlimit command so it will work properly. I tried just dropping it at the top of the file but it did not do anything...

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
~Jeff

it seems public cvs does not have such a thing. what's your version? it might be too old

and Patrick builds it like this
./configure --prefix=/usr with-gcc-wall
cd with-gcc-wall
./makemake --with-dynamic-ffi --prefix=/usr > Makefile
make config.lisp
make
#make check
make install DESTDIR=$PKG

I am trying to compile version 2.44 I obtained from here. I'll take a look at that post you linked to and report back later tonight with my results.

Thanks,
~Jeff

a little mixed the versions: ver 2.47 from slackware 13:

Code:

CFLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS" \
./configure \
  --prefix=/usr \
  --libdir=/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX} \
  --mandir=/usr/man \
  --docdir=/usr/doc/clisp-$VERSION \
  --with-module=clx/new-clx \
  --with-module=pcre \
  --with-module=rawsock \
  --with-module=wildcard \
  --with-module=zlib \
  --cbc with-gcc-wall \
  --with-dynamic-ffi || exit 1

cd with-gcc-wall
./makemake \
  --with-dynamic-ffi  \
  --prefix=/usr \
  --libdir=/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX} \
  --with-module=clx/new-clx \
  --with-module=pcre \
  --with-module=rawsock \
  --with-module=wildcard \
  --with-module=zlib \
  --srcdir=../src \
  > Makefile
make config.lisp
make init
make allc
make $NUMJOBS lisp.run
make interpreted.mem
make halfcompiled.mem
make lispinit.mem
make manual
make modular

Are those build instructions applicable to a debian based distro? Isn't there a way I can simply adjust my stack size like configure suggestions?...

Thanks,
~Jeff

this would be okey for any distro:

configure --cbc with-gcc-wall
cd with-gcc-wall
makemake > Makefile
make config.lisp

now edit config.lisp look for ulimit in it

Where should I be running those commands from? I tried both the top level of my source directory and in the /src folder located in the source, both yield unknown command for "configure" and ./configure yield "unknown argument" for "--cbc"

you aer running the shell as root, don't you. you don't need to be root to configure and compile the programs. only you need to be root when you install it.

and intrestingly mine does :/ accept configure --cbc

Jeff91 · 01-09-2010, 12:30 PM

No, I am running the packages as my the default user. Not as root.

Ideas?

i'll check something, come back to you

ozanbaba · 01-09-2010, 01:14 PM

well, clisp 2.47 and 2.48 does indeed has --cbc

ozanbaba · 01-09-2010, 01:49 PM

okey

here's the way:

configure with-gcc
cd with-gcc
vim config.lisp # if you want to change the config.
make # build
ulimit -s 16384 # you need it for running clisp
make check # check the build

and abuot ulimit, you shuold run it in shell before running clisp
you can add it to global profile scripts so it become global, but there's
reason why it's not like this. it allows DOS attacks.

Debian .. examples :

1) Sid : From clisp-2.48 , the patch, line 521
cat -n clisp_2.48-1.diff | grep -A 10 "configure debian/build"
./makemake --with-readline --with-gettext
http://packages.debian.org/sid/clisp

2) Etch clisp-2.44
http://packages.debian.org/etch/clisp
