Re: [MIT-Scheme-devel] Problem with building 10.1.4 from tarball

[Chris Hanson]

Cross compilation is not really working right in 10.1.*. It can be done but it's complicated and whatever instructions you found are probably out of date.

This has been cleaned up on HEAD but probably won't be released for a while.

Hello Chris,

I'm trying to build mit-scheme-10.1.tar.gz from a 9.2 build on my Mac and it's failing (before trying 10.1, it also failed similarly for 10.1.5).

I'm following the instructions for "Building an incompatible compiler".

When I run (load "compiler.sf"), it fails here:

;  Generating SCode for file: "rtlgen/fndblk.scm" => "rtlgen/fndblk.bin"... done
