Yep, it’s fixed now. Took me a bit of time to rebuild successfully. I
always have trouble building gcl unless I have a completely fresh
checkout.
But it’s all working now. Thanks!
One final note, perhaps. I installed the latest version of gcl and used
it to build maxima. No issues there, once I removed all the old stale
fasls. Appears to build just fine, but it won’t run. I get this:
|$ ./maxima-local -g -l gcl Error: Fast links are on: do
(si::use-fast-links nil) for debugging Signalled by "AN ANONYMOUS
FUNCTION". INTERNAL-SIMPLE-UNDEFINED-FUNCTION: Cell error on RUN:
Undefined function: Broken at NIL. 1 (abort) Return to debug level 5. 2
Return to debug level 4. 3 Return to debug level 3. 4 Return to debug
level 2. 5 Return to debug level 1. 6 Return to top level. >>>>>>> |
Haven’t spent any time debugging this. I don’t know gcl’s debugger at all.
Take care,

I've pushed a fix to git branch gnu-build-system, which will appear in
release 2.7.0 shortly.
Fantastic! I build 2.7.0 and can confirm the macrolet issue is fixed.
However, I do have a build issue. I had to run autoconf again because I don’t
have aclocal-1.17. Everything built fine. But then I did make install. When I
run the
installed gcl, it can’t find /usr/lib/gcl-2.7.0/unixport/saved_gcl. I ran
“configure –prefix=$HOME/dev/gcl-2.7.0”. There is saved_gcl in
$HOME/dev/gcl-2.7.0/lib/gcl-2.7.0/unixport/saved_gcl, as I would have expected.
Take care,

Dear GCL developers,
Here's another bug(?) I encountered.
The following code works correctly when entering it directly into the REPL. But
compiling it doesn't work correctly.
Place this in a file bug.lisp:
(macrolet ((impl (op) `(,op x y)))
(defun add (x y) (impl +)))
This defines a function add (x y) with the body (+ x y).
Compile it:
(compile-file "bug.lisp")
The compiler gives some warnings that already indicate that something is wrong:
; (DEFUN ADD ...) is being compiled.
;; Warning: The variable X is not used.
;; Warning: The variable Y is not used.
Load the compiled file and try to call add:
(load "bug.o")
(add 3 4)
The following error is shown:
Condition in ADD [or a callee]: INTERNAL-SIMPLE-TYPE-ERROR: IMPL is not of type
FUNCTION:
The compiler failed to expand the impl macro and treated it like a function!
Tested with GCL 2.6.14.
Best regards
David Scherfgen
