ecl version of cephes.cl fails

[jgarte]

Hi, the ecl version of cephes.cl fails:

starting phase `build'

Is this known to be the case?

Has anyone else tried building cephes.cl with ecl?

[Symbolics]

To my knowledge, no one has tried cephes with ecl. It will definitely work with SBCL, and probably CCL, though support for CCL was dropped some time back due to CCL falling into disrepair.

Cephes can be used with ECL (version 21.2.1 at least). See attached.

According to your log, it is the make that is failing (I believe return code 1 means a rule failed) and since you're using guix, I'm thinking that you're missing a build input.

I'm not too familiar with guix, but I assume there is some guix command to get a shell in the development environment. If you can see if uname is there and what happens if you try to run the make in the scipy-cephes directory yourself.

As far as I know, the only lisp-stat system dependent on sbcl is data-frames.

I'll try again soon and let you know if I was able to fix it. Thanks for the report and helping out with debugging the Guix package! It's much appreciated.

Here's the patch series for all of lisp-stat:

Interesting! Do you happen to know why sbcl is dependent on data-frames

It's nothing major. It's because we use a CLTL2 environment feature to help in formatting printed output. Other implementions may have CLTL2 functions available too, but they haven't been investigated.
