#15662: variant clisp of maxima builds sbcl, apparently needlessly -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: ralph@cs.cf.ac.uk | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Keywords: variant | -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- I said
sudo port -v install maxima +clisp to cause maxima to be built on top of clisp, rather than on top of sbcl which is the default (claips and sbcl are two different implementations of common lisp). However, the very next line said ---> Fetching sbcl and sbcl was built. This does not seem right. There is no need for sbcl if the clisp variant is used.
Note that on running maxima, it does indeed seem to be based on clisp, not sbcl, as expected:
Maxima 5.15.0 http://maxima.sourceforge.net Using Lisp CLISP 2.43 (2007-11-18)
