Clozure CL + Windows XP



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).

(%i1) bessel_j(3,2.0);

(%o1)                                 0.0
(%i2) build_info();

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:

http://trac.clozure.com/openmcl
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.openmcl.devel/2878

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.
