From: Yongwei Xing on 26 Oct 2009 01:04 Hi all I heard that the clisp support the Multiple Threads from http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/mt.html#mt-package. Then I check the *features* (:LIBSVM :ZLIB :RAWSOCK :PCRE :WILDCARD :DIRKEY :READLINE :REGEXP :SYSCALLS :I18N :LOOP :COMPILER :CLOS :MOP :CLISP :ANSI-CL :COMMON- LISP :LISP=CL :INTERPRETER :SOCKETS :GENERIC-STREAMS :LOGICAL- PATHNAMES :SCREEN :FFI :GETTEXT :UNICODE :BASE-CHAR=CHARACTER :PC386 :WIN32) There is no :MT. Then I found there is line at the top of that page "Platform Dependent: Only in CLISP built with compile-time flag --with- threads." My OS now is Window XP, I only just download the Binay and install it, how can I build it? I have another OS is Ubuntu, I have installed the Clisp 2.47. If I want this feature, I need re-install the clisp? Is it right? I am not familiar with the Linux. I have another question. If I have installed the CLisp2.44 , then I want to install the clisp 2.47, should I remove the 2.44? If so, what should I do? Best Regards,
From: Lars Rune Nøstdal on 26 Oct 2009 05:59 Just get the source (I'm not sure which version has MT support) and see the INSTALL (or unix/INSTALL) file. Since you have access to a non brain-damaged platform (Debian!, well via Ubuntu; but close enough) you can simply do: apt-get bulid-dep clisp ...and this will pull down all(#1) compilers and library dependencies and whatnot CLISP will need to build. Then you follow what is mentioned in the CLISP unix/INSTALL guide(#2). If the "./configure" procedure still mentions missing dependencies based on the possibility that a more recent CLISP than the one provided by Debian/Ubuntu built with more features enabled (MT) might require more dependencies than what is pulled by the 'build-dep' above, do a search+install as mentioned in #1. Note that SBCL already has thread-support and has had for some time. #1: "All" here is somewhat dependent on a generic CLISP build (or one that matches what the Debian/Ubuntu devs. went with). So if you want extra features, the CLISP build process might need more dependencies and you can get these by doing a "aptitude search" for the appropriate "lib<something>-dev" dep./library then installing it using the normal "aptitude install lib<something>-dev" procedure. Note that it might pull down quite a lot of packages; the entire GCC stack, and I imagine tools needed to generate various documentation formats (pdf, ps, html) from the CLISP sources etc.. #2: In particular you want "--with-threads". The install-file will mention other options, and "configure --help" (or similar; I don't recall exactly) might mention even more options.

If so, what should I do? If you are using Ubuntu Linux, then the 'Synaptic' package manager will upgrade CLISP for you when there is a newer package in the repository of your Ubuntu version. You can start Synaptic and look for CLISP updates the same way as with any package. See the on-line help for Synaptic at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto for more details. HTH, Giorgos

For threads you need 2.48 - however note that MT is experimental and has issues. Check the impnotes. Better option is to get cvs head - many bugs are fixed there. When building - you should configure with proper threads flavor (-- with-threads=): POSIX_THREADS on linux/bsd/osx or WIN32_THREADS on win32. The latter (still) does not support thread interruption.
