Cross compilation of ECL itself: - The windres program comes with the usual cross compilation target prefixes, use AC_CHECK_TOOL to select the right one. - For c::update-compiler-features, we need to check the features of the host system instead of the target because that determines the executable prefix of the ecl_min stub. Cross compilation of user code: We just have to replace some read time conditionals by runtime checks. Further notes on Windows cross compilation using mingw: - Our old copy of libgmp doesn't work, one needs to update that before compiling. - ASDF fails to compile unless XDG_CACHE_HOME is set (it tries and fails to find a Windows cache directory if XDG_CACHE_HOME is empty). - The `windres` program may be located in a separate package from the mingw compiler. On debian, I had to install binutils-mingw-w64 and gcc-mingw-w64. |

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 Lisp code and can itself be linked to your programs as a shared library. It also features an interpreter for situations when a C compiler isn't available.
ECL supports the operating systems Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, DragonFly BSD, OpenBSD, Solaris (at least v. 9), Microsoft Windows (MSVC, MinGW and Cygwin) and OSX, running on top of the Intel, Sparc, Alpha, ARM and PowerPC processors. Porting to other architectures should be rather easy.
