In the past, we didn't use `gettimeofday()` on all non-DOS platforms because it wasn't available, so we had to fall back to `time()`. Those days are long gone and we have `gettimeofday()` on all non-DOS platforms. This also removes some code that used `times()` when it used `time()`. This leaves us using `getrusage()` on all non-DOS platforms. This, much like `gettimeofday()`, is now available everywhere. Not all of the fields used here are guaranteed by POSIX, but the ones used here shouldn't be an issue for now.
Maiko
This 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 and disk etc.
There are make file fragments that include all the flags and variables you have to set for each hardware/OS target.
- cd to the "bin" directory
- have "." on your PATH
- do "./makeright x"
It will (attempt to) detect the OS-type and cpu-type, and put together the makefile parts that it needs. It will build in ../ostype.cputype-x (for the .o files) and ../ostype.cputype for the executables.
Development Platforms
We are developing on FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, and Solaris currently on arm, arm64, PowerPC, SPARC, x86, and x86_64 hardware.
We believe it will work on these platforms.
Fixes and improvements for additional platforms and hardware is welcome. Work is underway to run better on Windows.
In the past, Maiko ran on DOS. This may or may not still work.
