SBCL on OSX/Intel: Success!

SBCL build on an Apple Intel Core Duo iMac (Dual-core 2Ghz, 1G RAM):

//build started: Mon Mar 6 08:48:56 CST 2006
//build finished: Mon Mar 6 08:58:54 CST 2006
real 9m58.717s
user 8m50.595s
sys 0m31.261s

Thanks to Cyrus Harmon’s patch for 20060503 SBCL from CVS. I used CLISP (v2.37) to bootstrap SBCL from source, then recompiled it with itself just to make sure things were going to work.

    What version of clisp did you use to build sbcl?

    How did you get clisp to work?

    Heh, sorry about the clueless reply. I got it to work, though it was a bit tricky. :)

    I am having weird problems… I got clisp up, and tried to build sbcl, but I get an error, the same error (I think) as I get when trying to run the supplied sbcl binary.
