Success with Mac OS X/CMUCL |
Thanks to everyone who worked on getting the Mac OS X port going - I
downloaded the binaries from Pierre's website yesterday to try out.
I'm working with Lynn Quam on a system that makes heavy use of external
C/C++ libraries, OpenGL and Tcl/Tk, all called from Lisp with callbacks
from C back to Lisp. Except for some minor trouble with endian-ness
(tag bits in foreign array allocation), it was very easy to get the
system running under Mac OS X/CMUCL. We're currently using Lynn's
callback code as a fallback in lieu of Helmut Eller's system, but so
far so good.
We have the same system running on Mac OS X/Allegro, and I'm noticing
that while performance favors CMUCL on the x86/linux versions, this
initial port of CMUCL is slower than allegro on the Mac - not by a
whole lot, but it's noticeable. Nonetheless, having a Mac OS X/CMUCL
is very good news - thanks again!!
