Compiling r7313 through r7319 CSL Reduce on X86_64 Big Sur fails

Problems with 'showtime' PSL Reduce in macOS

Apologies! Of course r5259 should be replaced by r7258.

Hi Thomas, you are right! When I tested bash version number I did it by using the command bash --version (which corresponds to /opt/local/bin/bash --version) instead of using the command /bin/bash --version. I verified it just now that using #!/opt/local/bin/bash instead of #!/bin/bash as first line in the file r5259 build.sh works fine. Best regards Marco

Building r7257 and r5278 Common Lisp Reduce on macOS fails, because 'bash' does not digest the following commands: [ -v lisp ] || ... if [ -v clean ]; then ... [ -v debug ] ... if [ ! -v reduce ]; then ... if [ ! -v revision ] if [ -v bootstraponly ] if [ -v coreonly ] I changed them as follows [ -n "$lisp" ] || if [ -n "$clean" ]; then [ -n "$debug" ] ... if [ -z "$reduce" ] if [ -z "$revision" ] if [ -n "$bootstraponly" ] if [ -n "$coreonly" ] and there was not any problem in building. The 'bash'...

Hi Francis, I did not understand why you insisted in asking me the result of 'svnversion'. Now I understand why: you want to use the command 'svnversion' to set the value of the variable 'revision!*'. Using 'svnversion' to set the value of the variable 'revision!*' as you do in the (e.g. r7253) file 'build.sh' works only if you are using a 'trunk' directory obtained by downloading reduce-algebra code using the standard checkout command svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/reduce-algebra/code/trunk...

On my 'Windows 11 Home (25H2)' X86_64 laptop I tested the old revions of Reduce I found in a backup disk. Compiling and running Common Lisp Reduce I got the following results: i) SBCL Common Lisp Reduce r7204, r7205, r7213, r7246, r7251 REDUCE (Free SBCL version, revision ???), build date 11-Jan-2026 ... 1: bye; This seems to suggest that there is some difference between the 7246 revision I downloaded today and the one you used. ii) CLISP Common Lisp Reduce r7204, r7213, r7246, r7251 REDUCE (Free...
