Greetings! Good news is that maxima, acl2, and axiom all build atop a local 2.6.8pre package with xgcl included. Contrary to what I've said earlier, I'm leaning toward just including this code in the shipped binary images.
There were a few modifications I'll note later. The main issue is that I suspect none of this will work on 64bit, as the code collapses all X window function prototypes to 'int'. int -> long is likely a workaround, but this needs cleaning up at some point. (I've briefly tried including the correct prototypes, but this breaks the build, as some of the functions are C macros which don't play well with defentry and defCfun, etc.) In any case, it would be nice if someone 1) could test on a 64bit machine to which they have X11 access, 2) provide ssh access *with X forwarding* enabled for me to do so. I've provided the following autoload in the user package: (xgcl) Loading /usr/lib/gcl-2.6.8/xgcl-2/gcl_dwtest.lsp Finished loading /usr/lib/gcl-2.6.8/xgcl-2/gcl_dwtest.lsp Welcome to xgcl! Please see dwdoc for details. Or try (wtestc) .. (wtestk) for examples. NIL > Or one can (use-package 'xlib) and do (menu) calls by hand. I've noticed that if the DISPLAY is unset, and one tries a wtest, one gets a segfault instead of a warning -- anyone know where this can be fixed? This is checked into branch Version_2_6_8pre now and will be soon as well to cvs head. Some new items: configure switch --enable-xgcl (default) --disable-xgcl :xgcl feature, code is licensed under gpl (not lgpl) and reported in banner debian/copyright updated dwdoc documentation installed alongside gcl-si and gcl-tk Gordon Novak's xgcl-4 updates compiler::link build mechanism on top of either traditional or ansi image.
