[Gcl-devel] Re: [Maxima] Compilation problems with latest maxima

Greetings!

The ansi support in gcl is preliminary -- not all is there at present.
The defsystem.lisp in maxima assumes that :ansi-cl means certain
functions are defined, which in gcl's current case is not true.  The
following modification to defsystem.lisp enables gcl's ansi image to
compile maxima correctly:

      (;#+(or :cltl2 :ansi-cl) with-compilation-unit
	 ;#+(or :cltl2 :ansi-cl) (:override override-compilation-unit)
	 ;#-(or :cltl2 :ansi-cl) progn
       progn

Hopefully we'll get the 'with-compilation-unit et.al. in the ansi
image soon.

Take care,
