Hello, Today I submitted a PR [1] to MacPorts with a updated Portfile (package definition). The idea was to let MacPorts to download GCL 2.6.14 from main GNU site (as before) but then apply all Debian patches extracted from Debian source tarballs (like [2]). It's tested that now I can build GCL 2.6.15pre17 on my local machine as a MacPorts package, without any other private patch.
If MacPorts maintainer does not let me put 17K patch files into their Git repository, I will try to download these patches from Debian server first, and then apply them manually. The "cltl1" mode is added as a package variant so far, but I'm working on building GCL 4 times (ansi/cltl1, with/without profiling) together and combine all files into a single package like the Debian package does. I will also test the building process on more macOS versions and report back (if the issue is non-trivial). Now I got my first ARM Mac, and I will check GCL building on it. P.S. My final purpose is to add also the "axiom" package into MacPorts. --Chun [1] https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/28031 [2] http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcl/gcl_2.6.14-18.debian.tar.xz On 08/03/25 05:59, Camm Maguire wrote: > Greetings, and thanks so much, and for all your wonderful work as well! > It does appear that we will be using macports as our preferred mac > packaging system for GCL.
