Building GNU APL (1.8, SVN: 1252) under OpenBSD/amd64 6.6-STABLE

[Alexander Shendi]

Hello GNU APL world,

I have compiled SVN 1252 under OpenBSD 6.6-STABLE (amd64).
I had the following small issue:

In file "src/Bif_F12_DOMINO.hh" I had to insert
#ifdef _N
#undef _N
#endif

after line 28. It seems the system header file "ctype.h" i
already #defines _N.
I'm not sure this is the correct remedy. Another option would be
to rename all occurences of "_N" in that file to e.g. "_NN".

After startup GNU APL displays the following message:

surfacego$ ./.local/gnuapl/svn-1252/bin/apl --noColor
*** Warning: the process memory limit (RLIMIT_AS) of 6442450944
 is more than the estimated total_memory of 3221225472.
 This could cause improper WS FULL handling.
::connect() to supposedly existing APserver failed: Invalid argument

I'm not sure what this means, let alone how to deal with it.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Best Regards,

Alexander
