After building clisp as described below, run the TL
Build --enable-xindy CLISP=$clisp_builddir/clisp
to include xindy in the build. It is disabled by default.
xindy/xindy-src/README-clisp has alternative instructions with some
extra information, especially for those building xindy on its own. The
process here is written for building clisp-for-xindy-for-TL. The
differences are minimal.
mkdir clisp; cd clisp
clisp_basedir=`pwd`
clisp_toolsdir=$clisp_basedir/clisp-tools
clisp_builddir=$clisp_basedir/clisp-build
mkdir $clisp_toolsdir
wget=wget # or "curl -O" or whatever
libsigsegv_ver=libsigsegv-2.13
cd $clisp_basedir
$wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libsigsegv/$libsigsegv_ver.tar.gz
gzip -dc $libsigsegv_ver.tar.gz | tar xf -
cd $libsigsegv_ver
./configure -C --prefix=$clisp_toolsdir --disable-shared --enable-static \
&& make && make check && make install
#
# you may need this hack on 64-bit systems
# if clisp's configure does not find libsigsegv. Harmless to do in any case.
ln -s lib $clisp_toolsdir/lib64 # for GNU/Linux 64-bit
ln -s . $clisp_toolsdir/lib/64 # for Solaris 64-bit
#
# if you can't build libsigsegv, pass --ignore-absence-of-libsigsegv
# when running configure for clisp.
# may be able to omit iconv if have new enough in libc or elsewhere.
# (and omit --with-libiconv-prefix below)
libiconv_ver=libiconv-1.16
cd $clisp_basedir
$wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libiconv/$libiconv_ver.tar.gz
gzip -dc $libiconv_ver.tar.gz | tar xf -
cd $libiconv_ver
./configure -C --prefix=$clisp_toolsdir \
--disable-shared --enable-static --disable-nls \
&& make && make check && make install
# would probably be ideal to also do a local libtermcap or ncurses,
# but doesn't seem to be a problem in practice?
# foil wrong attempts at dynamic linking, etc. Don't worry if any don't exist.
(cd $clisp_basedir/clisp-tools/lib && mkdir .dy && mv *.dylib *.la .dy)
clisp_ver=clisp-2.49.92
cd $clisp_basedir
$wget https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/clisp/$clisp_ver.tar.bz2
bunzip2 -dc $clisp_ver.tar.bz2 | tar xf -
cd $clisp_ver
# On Cygwin:
# mv modules/syscalls/configure modules/syscalls/configure.orig
# sed -e '{s%-luuid%-L/usr/lib/w32api -luuid%}' \
# modules/syscalls/configure.orig > modules/syscalls/configure
# On FreeBSD/amd64: add --disable-mmap.
#
# Do not link with ncurses, we don't need it and versions differ.
# but, this doesn't work with 2.49.92, results in undefined references
# to the termcap functions.
#ac_cv_search_tgetent=" "; export ac_cv_search_tgetent
#
./configure CPPFLAGS=-DUNIX_BINARY_DISTRIB --prefix=$clisp_toolsdir \
--without-readline --without-dynamic-modules \
--disable-nls \
--with-libsigsegv-prefix=$clisp_toolsdir \
--with-libiconv-prefix=$clisp_toolsdir \
$clisp_builddir \
&& (cd $clisp_builddir && make)
Then the files we want are $clisp_builddir/lisp.run and lispinit.mem,
to be installed as <tlbindir>/xindy.{run,mem}.
There may be clisp test failures relating to sockets on some
systems. Since xindy doesn't use sockets, we can ignore those for TL.
