Hi Don, I do believe it makes sense to have a GCL build test. GCL is still one of the very few Lisp systems that used to build (e.g. in gcl-2.6.8pre some years) native Lisp systems. For the AXIOM systems (especially OpenAxiom), it is the standard Lisp system. I do have access to a Windows XP (32-bit) box, and a Windows 7 (64-bit) box. I can conduct the tests if you have developed some methods. Camm, the Windows boxes I have access to are `mobile' laptops so I do not know how to manage access to them (plus I know Windows just about to be dangerous). | | If you all think it is important to have an winXP-proven build I can pursue | putting a virtual machine on my Vista box and install XP into it -- but event | this wouldn't be a `real' WinXP installation. | | What do you all think? Do we try to make sure it works on WinXP or do we stop | at 2.6.7 for XP? Yes. PS: I jut came back from short vacation and semester just started here, so things are a bit hectic... -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Gcl-devel mailing list Gcl-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gcl-devel
