Installation of Clisp

[Note]

Note

This package does not support parallel build.

Remove one test, which fails for unknown reasons: 

sed -i '/socket/d' tests/tests.lisp

Install Clisp by running the following commands: 

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

../configure --srcdir=../                       \
             --prefix=/usr                      \
             --docdir=/usr/share/doc/clisp-2.49 \
             --with-libsigsegv-prefix=/usr &&

ulimit -s 16384 &&
make -j1

To test the results, issue: make check.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

uimit -s 16384: this increases the maximum stack size, as recommended by the configure.
