[9fans] lisp again.

[9fans] lisp again.

[Fernan Bolando]

lisp has been discuss in 9fans several times already

Anybody started porting clisp, gcl or any of the main lisp compilers?
I have been going at it on-and-off for some time never really
progressed, I was hoping
someone already started and got bored with it. I am hoping to use that
as a starting point.

where can I get the latest gcc port? maybe it's good enough to compile
one of the lisp compiler.

Well, lisp != common lisp aside, I wouldn't mind a native CL system. I
haven't looked at the SBCL backend in quite sometime, but, assuming it's not
terribly insane, that would be a decent route. Most CL work that isn't
specific to one of the proprietary systems (Allegro, LispWorks, &c.) is
written with SBCL or, to a lesser extent, CCL. If anyone's interested in
working on a CL port to plan9, I'll start a lisp cabal, that can work on
other systems next.

I'll look today...

One challenge with SBCL and some other implementations is that you
need a Common Lisp system already in place to compile them. I looked
into Clisp, which can be compiled with a C compiler, but after
fighting configure for a while I quit.

Last time I looked into this, I was comparing different version of a
common lisp systems to see which one might be easy enough to port
during the weekend. I remember I dropped to at least 3
1. gcl-1.0
2. ecl-8.12
3. clisp -- I guess I can remove this from my list

Clozure might be enough as well; it's C, but I've no idea how many POSIXisms
are in the source...

I was going to use SBCL to cross compile SBCL for Plan9.

maybe the bootstrap can be done with linuxemu.

wouldn't that just give you yet another linux elf binary?

you are right. it must know how to compile correct a.out(6).
