Release 201 corrections (#510)
* Fix compilation for maiko version 201

Version 201 does not have BIGVM, so SWA_FNHEAD requires swapx
which is defined in byteswapdefs.h

* Fix compilation for maiko version 201

Version 201 did not have NEWCDRCODING, so the implementation of
N_OP_rplcons requires definitions from gcdata.h and address.h

* Set up makeright etc. to allow for easier compilation of alternate versions

The makeright script and the makefile-* slices it depends are modified
to allow easily specifying the RELEASE version number of the Maiko emulator
to be built.  The default version remains 351, but can be changed with e.g.

RELEASE=201 ./makeright x

The object directories and executables are NOT named with the version.

* Remove unnecessary include of gcdata.h from bbtsub.c

* Users of gcdata.h should include gchtfinddefs.h explicitly if they use gcdata.h macros

* Correct modify_big_reference_count entry parameter type to reflect dependence on GCENTRY size differences between releases

* Add MAIKO_RELEASE to CMake options for building

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.

For an overview, see Medley Interlisp Introduction.

See the Medley repository for

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 libx11-dev
$ cd maiko/bin
$ ./makeright x
  • The build will (attempt to) detect the OS-type and cpu-type. It will build binaries lde and ldex in ../ostype.cputype (with .o files in ..ostype.cputype-x. For example, Linux on a 64-bit x86 will use linux.x86_64, while macOS 11 on a (new M1) Mac will use darwin.aarch64.
  • If you prefer using gcc over clang, you will need to edit the makefile fragment for your configuration (makefile-ostype.cputype-x) and comment out the line (with a #) that defines CC for clang and uncomment the line (delete the #) for the line that defines CC for gcc.
  • There is a cmake configuration (TBD To Be Described here).

Building For macOS

  • Running on macOS requires an X server, and building on a Mac requires X client libraries. An X-server for macOS (and X11 client libraries) can be freely obtained at https://www.xquartz.org/releases

Building for Windows 10

Windows 10 currently requires "Docker for Desktop" or WSL2 and a (Windows X-server). See Medley's README for more.
