So clisp could be uninstalled after xindy was built. -Therefore, running "make install" is not necessary, and you can -specify --with-clisp=$clisp_builddir/clisp when configuring xindy. - -Xindy requires a clisp built with Foreign Function Interface support. -If you are using clisp 2.44 or newer, note the following (taken from -the NEWS file from clisp sources): - -* CLISP does not come with GNU libffcall anymore. - This is now a separate package and should be installed separately. - Pass --with-libffcall-prefix to the top-level configure if it is not - installed in a standard place. - Option --with-dynamic-ffi is now replaced with --with-ffcall. - -So you would need to install libffcall separately, before installing clisp, -and change --with-dynamic-ffi to --with-ffcall in the xindy configure call. -You can download libffcall sources from -http://www.haible.de/bruno/packages-ffcall-README.html -or from the "ffcall" directory in the clisp-2.43 tarball, -or from http://packages.debian.org/sid/libffcall1 -(containing some improvements from Debian). -Again, this is needed only for clisp 2.44 and newer. - -When running `configure' for clisp, the following options should be noted: - -======================================================= - --with-dynamic-ffi (for clisp 2.43 and older), or - --with-ffcall (for clisp 2.44 and newer) - - This enables the Foreign Function Interface in clisp. - But strictly speaking, it is not necessary to use either of these - options, because the default is to support Foreign Function - Interface when available. - - --ignore-absence-of-libsigsegv - - You may optionally install libsigsegv to improve clisp's runtime - behavior. You may get libsigsegv sources from - http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libsigsegv/ - - If you don't have the libsigsegv library, use the above option to - let it build without libsigsegv. - - --with-libsigsegv-prefix=DIR - --with-libffcall-prefix=DIR - - In case you have installed libffcall or libsigsegv in some - non-standard locations, use the above options to specify their - prefix directories (such as /usr/local, /opt or /sw). - - --without-readline - - It was reported that CLISP fails to build on the MacOS X platform, - because of the faulty 'readline' package.
