Hello, I have tried to follow the instructions for compiling xindy. Here are my experiences after one afternoon: My configuration: Sun 4/75 SunOS 4.1.3_U1 X11R6.3 - I got the files recommended in the WWW-page packages/xp.clisp.tar.gz seems not to be used anywhere. - I have configured clisp to be made in a subdirectory. --with-dynamic-ffi seems to be added automatically. Maybe I should try it again without this configure option. I would guess that it works as well. The installation instructions indicate that -DIMMUTABLE is a good idea. This does not work for SunOS 4.*. make failed because libX11.a was not found. This is not contained in the X11R6.3 release where only the shared object is present. I have taken libX11.a from an X11R5 tree which I have also at hand. It takes really long to compile, test and install everything (serveral hours, even if everything works well) :-( - I have compiled (once again) GNU Rx from the sources. - The link recommended in the Web page does not work. rx is located in the directory rx-1.5. - The link recommended in the Web page does not work because clisp.h is located in a subdirectory of CLISP and not of src -- because I have made clisp in a subdir. - make -- even with fingerd crossed -- succeeded immediately. The Makefile triggers the target all which simply does nothing:-( the target `install' is unknown. I tried make in the rx subdirectory. This failed immediatly because the clisp script located there could not find the clisp interpreter??? OK. That's it for today. Maybe I need further instructions by mail as indicated on the Web page. Ciao Gerd
