[CM] clm newbie needs big help!

[joseph l anderson]

Hi all,

Im wanting to get clm up and running on MacOS X. Part of the problem is 
i have no idea what im doing, so am looking for some rather basic step 
by step help to get going. Wondering if anyone's gone through the 
process and can hold hands through the woods on this one.

Downloaded clisp. Having trouble building it. Im on rather unfamiliar 
terms with Unix - so this is adding to the difficulty.

Included in docs for clisp (clisp 2-2.28/unix/PLATFORMS) is the 
following:

> On Apple PowerPC running MacOS X Server:

> The /bin/sh shell has at least two bugs which make it unusable for the

I don't have bash on my machine, but MacOS X ships with zsh, which is 
supposed to be an enhanced Korn shell.

So, following their advice i did the following:

% setenv CONFIG_SHELL /bin/zsh
% $CONFIG_SHELL configure --build built-with-gcc

This did get things going, w/ creation of built-with-gcc dir. It seems 
to end up hanging (the script doesnt seem to be exiting), though at:

> cd lib && make all
> make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
> cd src && make all
> make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
> cd man && make all
> make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
> if test -d tests; then cd tests && make all; fi
> make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
> cd lib && make install-lib 
> libdir='/Applications/Languages/clisp-2.28/built-with-gcc'

Any thoughts? Do i need to get bash from apple?

Im also unclear on how to do the other stuff listed in the PLATFORMS 
file. Setting default stack size to "unlimit" and then the bit about 
optimization options.

No doubt - once i get clisp going, may have additional questions 
regarding clm installatio.

All help is very appreciated. Thanks in advance to everyone!
