Hmm, on Windows recent Cygwin clisp on longer supports creation
of executables, so we need some different way of creating
executables. Having X11 parts would be nice, but you decide
on which parts you want ot spend effort and which to skip.
AFAIK on macsOS build including X11 works out of the box.
There may be some buglet that appeared recently or usual
problems with changes to macsOS, but including X11 should
not add significant effort to creating an executable.
More on this: X11 means having Hyperdoc and graphics.
IME both are quite useful. I know that some people
think that Ralf API site is a better replacement for
Hyperdoc. Well, having API site is good, but that
depends on network access. IMO this is _big_ problem.
Namely, with network come issues of security and privacy.
One of best security practices is to cut of or severly
limit network access. Of course, any programs depending
on network for its operation subverts this and it seems
that many programs are provided because provider
_wants_ to subvert security (in nicer language wants
to collect "business data" it needs). Many open source
programs jump on this train, but please understand:
I would like to keep FriCAS independent of network.
Again, it is up to you if you include/exclude X11 or
provide two versions, but I hope that you understand
that I consider X11 support important and why.
