However, it should be relatively easy to apply the patches to new versions of PicoLisp: http://aleph0.info/jp/software/lisp-forth-openwrt/ J. -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
RE: Two questions
1. sudo apt-get install picolisp; pil -> (version) -> see for yourself The version in the distribution package repositories are usually (naturally) a bit outdated. To compile your own picolisp version during hand-install you require a usable picolisp version already installed (or java runtime as last resort), so you want to apt-get install picolisp anyway. As changes in releases are usually tiny and almost never (just almost, but hey) breaking existing functionality/usage, even an a bit older version of picolisp is sufficient. The introduction page of the new website is obviously directed at picolisp beginners, so this should be alright. JUST DO IT dude, you are pondering too much... 2. I don't know of anyone running pil on this vocore device or even under OpenWRT distro, so you might have to try out yourself. Post your experiences with it here and/or on the wiki for other users. :-) Picolisp is tiny both in storage size and memory footprint, so it does great on these tiny computers and is in fact used for embedded computing by a number of people. - Original Message - From: Lawrence Bottorff [mailto:borg...@gmail.com] To: picolisp@software-lab.de Sent: Sun, 8 May 2016 11:44:48 -0400 Subject: Two questions 1.

Re: Two questions
Hey Lawrence, if you are new to picolisp and want to get an impression of how it works an try some of the examples, I think "sudo apt-get install picolisp" is the perfect way to reach "picoLand" and start exploring it's beautifulness immediately. If you then feel the need of the things, that changed since the (3.1.5 ?) release, that your ubuntu offers you, it's rather easy to install additional picolisp-releases side by side (no need for su permissions for these local userspace installs, as far as I know). No need to bother long time which would be the best way - just tap sudo apt-get install und look around :-) Decide later, which release to work with. Answers to the second question might be found in the maillist archive, as there were questions concerning special hardware before. Picolisp offers a number of flavors out-of-the-box (mini-picolisp, ersatz, 32bit, 64bit, (?) , pilOS) which are different in the way of system ressources they need, the way they are written in (some in C, 64bit in Assembler, ersatz in Java), and the features the specific flavor offers (- but I'm just reading that, I do not know anything real about that -) so that I always get the impression of 'there should be one way to get picolisp run on my desired hardware'. Hopefully there will be a more precise answer from the list concerning your question. Wish you have much fun with picolisp, O. On 08.05.2016 17:44, Lawrence Bottorff wrote: 1.
