Previously, we were using SysV pseudo-terminals on Solaris and BSD pseudo-terminals on other Unix platforms. BSD pseudo-terminals have been deprecated on Linux and are no longer available in some kernel configurations. The POSIX API is basically the same as the SysV API, apart from using `posix_openpt` instead of `open` with `/dev/ptmx`. Closes interlisp/medley#121.
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.
