* Mention putative buildability on Win64 in NEWS. * Weak hash tables are supposed to work, don't say otherwise on the man-page. * Tweak README: mention INSTALL first. Manual lives in doc/manual nowadays, INSTALL tells how to build it.

GENERAL INFORMATION
|
|
|
|
Welcome to SBCL.
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to install or build the system, see the "INSTALL" file.
|
|
|
|
To find out more about who created the system, see the "CREDITS" file.
|
|
|
|
If you'd like information about the legalities of copying the system,
|
|
see the "COPYING" file.
|
|
|
|
If you'd like more information about using the system, see the man
|
|
page, "sbcl.1", or the user manual in the "doc/manual" subdirectory of
|
|
the distribution. (The user manual is maintained as Texinfo in the
|
|
source distribution; HTML version is available for download, and
|
|
"INSTALL" describes how to build the Texinfo version in HTML and PDF.)
|
|
|
|
The system is a work in progress. See the "TODO" file in the source
|
|
distribution for some highlights.
|
|
|
|
The "BUGS" file lists current known bugs.
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to make suggestions, report a bug, or help to improve the
|
|
system, please send mail to one of the mailing lists:
|
|
sbcl-help@lists.sourceforge.net
|

SYSTEM-SPECIFIC HINTS
|
|
|
|
for NetBSD:
|
|
NetBSD 2.0 and above are required because of the lack of needed
|
|
signal APIs in NetBSD 1.6 and earlier.
|
|
|
|
for OpenBSD:
|
|
OpenBSD 3.0 has stricter ulimit values, and/or enforces them more
|
|
strictly, than its predecessors. Therefore SBCL's initial mmap()
|
|
won't work unless you increase the limit on the data segment from
|
|
the OpenBSD defaults, e.g. with
|
|
ulimit -S -d 1000000
|
|
before you run SBCL. Otherwise SBCL fails with a message like
|
|
"ensure_space: failed to validate xxxxxxx bytes at yyyyy". (SBCL
|
|
is just allocating this huge address space, not actually using this
|
|
huge memory at this point. OpenBSD <3.0 had no problem with this,
|
|
but OpenBSD 3.0 is less hospitable.)
