Corman Lisp running on M1-based Mac (via Windows for ARM) #67

Closed rgcorman closed 3 years ago

rgcorman commented 3 years ago

Hi all, This isn't an issue per se, but I just wanted to let you know I have a new M1 Macbook Air and am able to run Corman Lisp on it. I've used the method of installing Parallels for M1, and then running the Microsoft Windows for ARM 64-bit developer release. I used this article to set it up, worked very easily (and free, as these are both free developer trials for now): https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/how-to-run-arm-windows-m1-mac/

I have a screen shot of the minesweeper example program running: corman lisp minesweeper screen shot

On an M1 MacBook Pro 13" 8Gb I'm running Corman Lisp on Wine using Wineskin Winery to make a Winery app. I had to use Winetricks under Tools to install riched20 dll as per advice here: https://github.com/sharplispers/cormanlisp/issues/42 . One time the menu section of the IDE didn't repaint but minimising the window and maximising again restored everything. I've run Othello, life and some Clos stuff without problems. Screenshot is of calculating (factorial 100) from the Quickstart section of the Corman Lisp manual (the manual opens fine from the help menu) ok:

Whoa! Great news! Both Microsoft and Apple did a great job here!
