I've tried to compile clisp 2.29 as recommended by:

http://www.math.psu.edu/glasner/Max_doc/faq.html#Lisp0

But it fails to compile, because the iliad uses softfloat instead of FPA (floating point hardware, that would be emulated and slower); that is perfectly documented in the debian arm eabi port, which has the exact same problem:

http://wiki.debian.org/ArmEabiProble...b009075a9eb8ed

That page directs to this one

http://mat.exon.name/logs/clisp

Where a partial solution is presented but is waiting for someone else to give it another go to get it running :-/.

So it seems that clisp is a dead-end in the iliad for now :-(.

Another way would be to cross-compile cmucl; that is theoretically possble, as this post
http://osdir.com/ml/lisp.cmucl.devel.../msg00178.html
mentions that in tools/README of the CMUcl distribution there is a "Step-by-Step Example of Cross-Compiling CMUCL".

Is there anyone willing to try it? O:-).
