Re: [Gcl-devel] Porting Femlisp (second trial)

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!

Please try gclcvs -50, now in unstable (should be in testing soon).

1 and 3 are fixed therein.

2 is on the todo list.

SLIME will be done before release, but remaining ansi tests and a
little compiler work, together with static build options, are coming
first. 

Take care,
