I tried building Maxima using Clozure CL + Windows XP. The tests rtest14,
rtest15, and rtest_gamma abort; the rest of the tests
pass. Deleting these three tests, the run times are:
SBCL 1.0.22 109.9 seconds, 6.105 seconds GC 9 850 167
496 bytes consed
Clozure CL 162.0 seconds, 28.063 seconds GC 3 745 442
024 bytes allocated
Using Clozure CL, share_testsuite reports some errors, but it finishes:
Errors found in rtest_numericalio.mac, problems: (50 52 57)
Errors found in testprintf.mac, problems: (27 54)
Error found in test_abs_integrate.mac, problem: (75)
Error found test_pochhammer.mac, problem: (29)
I used a 2.13 GHz, 2 GB RAM, Core 2 CPU. One bug that I know is (that
shows up in rest14 or rtest15).

Maxima version: 5.17post
Maxima build date: 13:56 3/26/2009
host type: @host@
lisp-implementation-type: Clozure Common Lisp
lisp-implementation-version: Version 1.3-dev-r11537M-trunk (WindowsX8632)
The GNU Autotools build doesn't work, I think (the path names are wrong);
I used the Lisp only build. I had
to replace defsystem.lisp with the file that comes with Clozure CL. Also,
I think (maxima-dump) doesn't work.
For information on Clozure CL, see:

The first 90% of most projects is easy, but it's the final 9.9% that
really counts. For (open-source, free, ...) CL on Windows we
have about five ninety percent solutions (GCL, ABCL, SBCL, ECL, CLISP).

My Maxima CVS isn't 100% clean--I shared some results with a few of you
yesterday that were somewhat different. I did
these results on a different machine.
