3 # "When we build software, it's a good idea to have a reliable method

5 # starting from the same source to end up in the same result. That's
6 # just a basic intellectual premise."

9 # This software is part of the SBCL system. See the README file for
12 # This software is derived from the CMU CL system, which was
13 # written at Carnegie Mellon University and released into the
14 # public domain. The software is in the public domain and is
15 # provided with absolutely no warranty. See the COPYING and CREDITS
16 # files for more information.
18 # The value of SBCL_XC_HOST should be a command to invoke the
19 # cross-compilation Lisp system in such a way that it reads commands
20 # from standard input, and terminates when it reaches end of file on
21 # standard input. Some suitable values are:
22 # "sbcl" to use an existing SBCL binary as a cross-compilation host
23 # "sbcl --sysinit /dev/null --userinit /dev/null"
24 # to use an existing SBCL binary as a cross-compilation host
25 # even though you have stuff in your initialization files
26 # which makes it behave in such a non-standard way that
27 # it keeps the build from working
28 # "sbcl --noprogrammer"
29 # to use an existing SBCL binary as a cross-compilation host
30 # and tell it to handle errors as best it can by itself,
31 # without trying to use *DEBUG-IO* to ask for help from
33 # "lisp -batch" to use an existing CMU CL binary as a cross-compilation host
34 # "lisp -noinit -batch"
35 # to use an existing CMU CL binary as a cross-compilation host
36 # when you have weird things in your .cmucl-init file
37 # Someday CLISP should work
39 # but as of sbcl-0.7.1.17, it still doesn't. (SBCL's fault: too much
42 # FIXME: Make a more sophisticated command line parser, probably
43 # accepting "sh make.sh --xc-host foolisp" instead of the
44 # the present "sh make.sh foolisp".
45 # FIXME: Tweak this script, and the rest of the system, to support
46 # a second bootstrapping pass in which the cross-compilation host is
47 # known to be SBCL itself, so that the cross-compiler can do some
48 # optimizations (especially specializable arrays) that it doesn't
49 # know how to implement how in a portable way. (Or maybe that wouldn't
50 # require a second pass, just testing at build-the-cross-compiler time
51 # whether the cross-compilation host returns suitable values from
52 # UPGRADED-ARRAY-ELEMENT-TYPE?)

57 # If you're cross-compiling, you should probably just walk through the
58 # make-config.sh script by hand doing the right thing on both the host
59 # and target machines.

62 # The make-host-*.sh scripts are run on the cross-compilation host,
63 # and the make-target-*.sh scripts are run on the target machine. In
64 # ordinary compilation, we just do these phases consecutively on the
65 # same machine, but if you wanted to cross-compile from one machine
66 # which supports Common Lisp to another which does not (yet:-) support
67 # Common Lisp, you could do something like this:
68 # Create copies of the source tree on both the host and the target.
69 # Read the make-config.sh script carefully and emulate it by hand
70 # on both machines (e.g. creating "target"-named symlinks to
71 # identify the target architecture).
73 # SBCL_XC_HOST=<whatever> sh make-host-1.sh
74 # Copy src/runtime/sbcl.h from the host system to the target system.
75 # On the target system:
77 # Copy src/runtime/sbcl.nm and output/stuff-groveled-from-headers.lisp
78 # from the target system to the host system.
80 # SBCL_XC_HOST=<whatever> sh make-host-2.sh
81 # Copy output/cold-sbcl.core from the host system to the target system.
82 # On the target system:
84 # Or, if you can set up the files somewhere shared (with NFS, AFS, or
85 # whatever) between the host machine and the target machine, the basic
86 # procedure above should still work, but you can skip the "copy" steps.
