Hello again Juanjo: This morning, after receiving notification of the 45 new commits, I downloaded a fresh copy of the ECL source using git. I built it on my 32-bit installation of PCLinuxOS using the following configure incantation:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ecl32 -enable-threads=yes --with-__thread=no --enable-boehm=included --with-gmp=included --with-dffi=included --with-clx=builtin --enable-rpath=yes Then I did: make su root make install exit make check I followed the progress of "make check" by observing the growth of "/home/pfb/my-ecl-sandbox/ecl/build/tests/output.ecl/ansi.log" in KDE's Konqueror file manager, but due to a problem with Konqueror updating files sometimes, I did not see the "make check" operation produce the "/home/pfb/my-ecl-sandbox/ecl/build/tests/output.ecl/regressions.log" in the Konqueror window. The "make check" operation looked like it completed properly in the Konsole window, so just to be certain everything was correct, I issued a "make recheck" command from within the Konsole window. That command began an infinite loop in the Konsole window that I could not break out of because there was so much hard disk activity. It was even beginning to mess up the Konqueror window, which was still open. I used the reset button on my computer to halt the system and reboot so I could see if there was any permanent damage, but my system rebooted without problems. After I got my system back up and running properly, I again opened Konqueror and examined the "/home/pfb/my-ecl-sandbox/ecl/build/tests/output.ecl" folder and found both the ansi.log and regressions.log files, which I opened and found them to be OK, as far as I could tell. The ansi.log had the usual "31 out of 21713 total tests failed" and the regressions.log had "7 out of 61 total tests failed". I don't know if the "make recheck" command had any affect on those files, and I don't want to re-issue that command and start another infinite loop to find out. I suppose I could delete the ecl source directory and rebuild it to see if the same thing happens, but ecl starts when I run it from Konsole with: ";;; Loading #P"/usr/local/ecl32/lib/ecl-11.1.1/sockets.fas" ECL (Embeddable Common-Lisp) 11.1.1 (git:a952c222cc0942489f7c292f7e2be7140a996d6e)" so I'll use it as it is to see what happens. Let me know if I should do anything differently, Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculously easy VDI.
