Re: [MIT-Scheme-devel] building for X86_64 on OS X Snow Leopard (10.6)

[Taylor R Campbell]

I've put a provisional snapshot at[*]

<http://people.csail.mit.edu/riastradh/tmp/mit-scheme-20091116-x86-64.tar.gz>

To use this, you can do the following, provided that you have an
existing Scheme installation (a 32-bit one will do -- it just needs to
run the scripts in Setup.sh):

git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/mit-scheme.git
cd mit-scheme/src
./Setup.sh
cd microcode
./configure --prefix=$PREFIX
make
make install

cd $PREFIX
gunzip -c < /path/to/mit-scheme-20091116-x86-64.tar.gz | tar xf -

The order in which you run these two sequences shouldn't matter.
Usually $PREFIX is /usr/local, but you can choose whatever you want.
I have tested this only under GNU/Linux, but it should work under Snow
Leopard, too, or any operating system supported by the microcode, on
an x86-64 machine.

This is only a provisional snapshot, not a `real' snapshot release,
provided for convenience of testing the x86-64 port without needing to
waste CPU cycles repeatedly bootstrapping from LIARC.  If I change the
compiled code calling conventions again, I'll provide another one.

    signature with my CSAIL x.509 credentials, affix .p7s to that URI.
    mit-scheme-20091116-x86-64-gnu-linux.tar.gz (also with PGP and
    PKCS#7 signatures) additionally contains the microcode compiled
    for some sort of Fedora-oid GNU/Linux system.
