[cmucl-help] Building on OSX

[Didier Verna]

  Hello,

I have an installation of CMUCL 21c on my Mac from the downloaded
darwin-x86 tarballs. It seems however that I cannot inspect values with
Slime. My guess is this is because the tarballs don't provide the
source code, or at least enough information for the inspector to
work. Is this correct?

If so, I need some help building from the source. I cloned the repo and
tried the simple build process, but it fails with the error below. I
tried hacking src/bootfiles/21c/boot-21c-cross-x86.lisp to undo the
:random-mt19937 -> :random-xoroshiro stuff, but it fails in the same
way. I don't understand the build process of CMUCL.

Thanks!
