SYSTEM-SPECIFIC HINTS
-for OpenBSD:
- It's reported for CMU CL (by Darren Bane on the comp.lang.lisp newsgroup,
- 2002-04-22) that OpenBSD 3.0 has stricter ulimit values, and/or enforces
- them more strictly, than its predecessors, and so CMU CL's initial mmap()
- won't work unless you increase the limit on the data segment, e.g. with
- ulimit -S -d 524288
- before you run CMU CL. The same is probably true of SBCL, but hasn't been
- tested yet. (As of sbcl-0.7.3, SBCL has only been tested on OpenBSD 2.9
- and earlier.)
+for NetBSD:
+ NetBSD 2.0 and above are required because of the lack of needed
+ signal APIs in NetBSD 1.6 and earlier.
