* Correct signedness of 2nd parameter of lispcmp(). * Be clear that comparison of characters in bytecmp is unsigned since GETBYTE returns unsigned char. * Make bytecmp() and lispcmp() helper functions static and removed from mkatomdefs.h. * If no BYTESWAP we need to include <string.h> for memcmp() * Use (uint8_t) rather than (unsigned char) in bytecmp when comparing to GETBYTE()
Maiko
Maiko is the implementation of the Medley Interlisp virtual machine, for a byte-coded Lisp instruction set and some low-level functions for connecting with Lisp for access to display (via X11) and disk etc.
Newcomers should check out the Medley Interlisp Introduction.
See the Medley repository for
- Issues (note that maiko issues are there too)
- Discussions (Q&A, announcements, etc)
- Medley's README
Bug reports, feature requests, fixes and improvements, support for additional platforms and hardware are all welcome.
Development Platforms
We are developing on FreeBSD, Linux, MacOS, and Solaris currently on arm7l, arm64, PowerPC, SPARC, i386, and x86_64 hardware.
Building Maiko
Building requires clang, make, X11 client libraries (libx11-dev). For example,
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install clang make x11dev
$ cd maiko/bin
$ ./makeright x
- The build will (attempt to) detect the OS-type and cpu-type. It will build binaries
ldeandldexin../ostype.cputype(with .o files in..ostype.cputype-x. For example, Linux on a 64-bit x86 will uselinux.x86_64, while MacOS 11 on (new) Mac will usedarwin.arm64. - If you prefer using
gccoverclang, you will need to edit the makefile fragment for your configuration (makefile-ostype.cputype-x1) and comment out the line (with a #) that definesCCforclangand uncomment the line (delete the #) for the line that definesCCforgcc`. - There is a cmake configuration (TBD)
Building For MacOS
- Running on MacOS requires an X server, and building on a Mac requires X client libraries. An X-server for x86 MacOS (and X11 client libraries) can be freely obtained at https://www.xquartz.org/ For the new arm64 MacOS 11, you'll need https://x.org which you can get via MacPorts or Brew.
Building for Windows 10
Windows 10 currently requires "Docker for Desktop" or WSL2 -- basically a Linux virtual machine -- and a (Windows X-server). See Medley's README for more.
