Compiling with -DMAIKO_ENABLE_NETHUB makes it possible to test out having a WebSocket server that could pass packets back and forth to the Dodo NetHub. Setting Emscripten link-time option for EXIT_RUNTIME allows the runtime code to shutdown when you exit Medley via a (LOGOUT) Set up preloads for all the parts of the Medley directory that MEDLEYDIR-INIT expects to be there. The resulting ldesdl.data is (at this time) 128 MB. It can be installed gzipped if using nginx or some other web server that supports pre-zipped static files. It would be better to have these as lazy-loading files, but the setup for that is complicated. Another alternative to embedding all the data would be if a WebSocket to XNS/Nethub gateway were written and deployed.
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
- 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 libx11-dev
$ 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 a (new M1) Mac will usedarwin.aarch64. - If you prefer using
gccoverclang, you will need to edit the makefile fragment for your configuration (makefile-ostype.cputype-x) 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 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.
