- fools' lisp 1.3 runs on the following systems:
-
- DECstation 3100 Ultrix 3.1 (UW V2.1) and T4.0-0 (UW T2.4-0)
- Sun3 and Sun4 SunOS 4.0.3
- VAX Ultrix 3.1 and 4.3-Tahoe BSD
- Sequent Symmetry DYNIX(R) V3.0.12 NFS
- Apollo DN3500 DomainOS Release 10.1 (bsd4.3)
-
- To compile the interpreter just type "make" in the directory
- containing the source. All of the above systems will properly
- build without modification to the source, except the Apollo which
- requires a slight modification of the Makefile.
-
- You might need to change portions of the Makefile depending on your
- system: for example, on the Apollo DN3500, the CFLAGS macro ought to
- be "CFLAGS = ${INC} ${DATE} -O -A nansi". I have heard that the DATE
- macro is also troublesome (replace the `date` with the current date).
-
- The file config.h defines options and system dependent parameters.
- You may want to change some of the options.
-
- The math libraries also differ from system to system, so certain
- functions used in mathprim.c may have to be removed or written.
-
- When the interpreter starts up, it does not have all the required
- features of R3RS. The missing features are in the file init.scm.
- The executable scripts fl and schelog demonstrate how to start up the
- interpreter with whatever customizations you'd like. Note that the
- actual pathnames in these scripts will have to be changed depending on
- where the referenced files are located. fl is a csh script that loads
- the default initialization file and other useful stuff. schelog
- invokes fools with the #! script facility and loads Dorai Sitaram's
- prolog-in-scheme embedding.
-
- A simple pretty printer and extend-syntax can be included into
- programs by (require 'pp) or (require 'extend-syntax).
-
- The interpreter understands the following command line options:
- -s file [arg ...]
- load file and set *argc* and *argv* to the
- command line arguments.
- This is useful for systems that support #! scripts.
- -v file [arg ...]
- Like -s except the results of each evaluation
- is sent to stdout.
- [file [file ...]]
- load each file.
-
- After processing command line arguments, the interpreter enters a
- read-eval-print loop (unless one of the files called exit).
-
- Info.doc contains additional information about the interpreter.
-
- If you have any questions, comments, or find any bugs, feel free to
- contact me.
