[Gcl-devel] Re: tried to make

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!  Apologies for the permissions, there should be an
executable saved_xgcl in there at present in case you want to take a
look.

The basic issue that I've uncovered thus far is that a simple
replacement of int->fixnum will not suffice, as some needed "returns"
are 8 bytes, and some 4 (mostly the latter).  Anything that returns a
window needs to be 8 bytes, whereas most dimensions (x,y,height,etc.)
are 4.  So I have a fixnum-pos in addition to the in-pos at the
moment.  Problems still persist, so if we can parallel process on
this, that would be great.

Thanks again!

P.S.  in xgcl-2, a "make saved_xgcl LISP=../unixport/saved_ansi_gcl"
should work, but the directory should be clean first, i.e. no leftover
gcl-produced c files (gcl_*c, user-init.c, ...).  Sorry this is still
a bit in a state of flux.

Take care,
