In a related query, I have attempted on several occasions
to build Oaklisp on a Mac, a NeXT, and a VAX. Another
lisp programmer I know has tried building it on the
Mac and the VAX. We have never succeeded. I have
repeatedly downloaded oaklisp distribution files,
followed the instructions, and run smack into some
failure that I couldn't figure out how to fix. Anybody
have a clue how I can start to figure out how to
get it built? Better yet, does anybody have a version
of oaklisp that builds correctly on the NeXT?
