Announcement of ECL
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
ECL stands for Embeddable Common-Lisp. The ECL project aims to
|
|
produce an implementation of the Common-Lisp language which complies
|
|
to the ANSI X3J13 definition of the language.
|
|
|
|
The term embeddable refers to the fact that ECL includes a lisp to C
|
|
compiler, which produces libraries (static or dynamic) that can be
|
|
called from C programs. Furthermore, ECL can produce standalone
|
|
executables from your lisp code and can itself be linked to your
|
|
programs as a shared library.
|
|
|
|
ECL supports the operating systems Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
|
|
Solaris (at least v. 9), Microsoft Windows and OSX, running on top of
|
|
the Intel, Sparc, Alpha and PowerPC processors. Porting to other
|
|
architectures should be rather easy.
|
|
|
|
ECL is currently hosted at SourceForge. The home page of the project
|
|
is http://ecls.sourceforge.net, and in it you will find source code
|
|
releases, a CVS tree and some useful documentation.

|
Known issues
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
- The Mingw port does not work with the stable version of the
|
|
Boehm-Weiser garbage collector. Users will have to download a more
|
|
recent version and build and install it in an accessible location
|
|
for ECL to compile.
|
|
|
|
- The OpenBSD port does not support multithreaded builds because the
|
|
latest stable version that runs on it does not contain all the
|
|
required functionality.
