Gauche:PS2Linux

0.7.1 on PS2Linux

It appears that Gauche 0.7.1 runs on PS2Linux, but you should build libgauche as a static library. Extensions seem to work.

• ./configure
• edit src/Makefile to force static link:

  SOEXT = a
  POSTBUILD =
  POSTINSTALL = 
  
  libgauche.$(SOEXT) : $(libgauche_OBJECTS) $(GCLIB)
          ar cru libgauche.$(SOEXT) $(libgauche_OBJECTS) ../gc/.libs/*.o
          $(POSTBUILD)
  

• make & make install

Notes:

• "make check" reports an error in gc, but it's because gctest is linked dynamically.
• PS2 EE doesn't have a double-precision FPU. So all inexact number operations (that are performed by "double" in Gauche) are software-emulated (i.e. slow).
• ScmObj uses 64bits on PS2, although 32bits should be enough. This eats precious PS2 memory and bus bandwidth.
