I have almost accepted now that I cannot build ILISP with XEmacs so
I'm going to try to get it to work with FSF Emacs. However there seems
to be some problem here too.
I'm trying to build ILISP 5.8 w/ Emacs 20.3. It barfs during
compilation with the following message:
Symbol's value as variable is void: comint-version
Can somebody tell me what version of Emacs I need to be able to use
ILISP, or how I can get it to work with 20.3?
Thanks in advance.

Which version of ILISP are you referring to? XEmacs 20.4 comes with
ILISP 5.8 "built-in", and with the new 21.1 series, ILISP is available
as an xemacs package (also version 5.8 it seems, though I'm doubtful
whether this version number has been kept current). Both work
reasonably well. No need to build ILISP from scratch.
Regs, Pierre.

AFAIK I am using the "built-in" version and it does not work with
Allegro. It hangs in the "Started initializing ILISP" stage which is
entered when I try to load a file with C-l. If I interrupt it in this
(hung) stage I keep getting messages like
As of 20.3 `concat' no longer works with compile-function objects ...
ilisp-version is "5.8"
I'm using Allegro 4.3.1 under Solaris 2.7.

You are perfectly correct but compiling them doesn't stop them from working.
When I was having problems with CLISP, I compiled the XEmacs 20.3 and 20.3 ilisp
sources and when I recently installed XEmacs 21.1 I downloaded the ilisp files
and compiled these too.
To this end, I applied the changes a suggested in the gnu.help.emacs thread
'ILISP 5.8-a04 installation and configuration.' and then compiled using the
makefile:
#this is will's xemacs ilisp make file
all:
/usr/local/bin/xemacs -batch -l ilisp.make.el
Or where-ever you install xemacs. This has alway compiled OK. It does give a few
warnings but otherwise ilisp seems fine with allegro or cmu lisp.
Best Regards,
:-) will
Please note that I am going to release ILISP 5.9 soon.
As an aside, I would like a portable way (i.e. please send me code) to
reliably and unmistakeably find out minor and major version number in
various Emacsen.
Thanks

By the way, does ``type=d'' mean `directory' (and would
that not happen by default with that path anyway)?

I can run xemacs 21.1 with a compiled (but slightly modified) version of
ilisp with allegro 4.3 running under Solaris 2.6 and cmulisp 2.4.13 debian
package under Linux.
The modifications to ilisp are in line with those posted on gnu.emacs.help
a while ago. If you would like me to mail you these mails but you should
be able to get them off deja.com. I think the thread was entitled 'ILISP
5.8-a04 installation and configuration.'
I still can't get CLISP to work with ilisp so I gave up :-(

Have you (or anyone else) worked this out yet? I finally got cmucl
installed on my redhat 6.0 system via debs and alien, but ilisp still
leaves me wanting to stick my head through my monitor.

I have been running it for 5 whole minutes now :-)
Visit ilcompat.el and look at the initform of
+ilisp-emacs-version-id+; this does not have a clause for emacs-20, so
ilisp falls back to Emacs 18 behavior. I added the cond clause
((string-match "^20" emacs-version)
'fsf-19)
and it seems to work just fine.

What version of emacs are you using? I have had not problems with cmucl and
ilisp running under Linux with xemacs 21.1p3 when I installed the compiled
ilisp5.8 package. I also have had no problem when I then recompiled the
source using 'xemacs -batch -l ilisp-make.el'.

FSF v20.3,redhat 6.0/i686, same as the article I was replying
to. Anyway, it's working now; turned out ilisp-compat.el (or whatever)
thought "oh, it's fsf emacs but it's not version 19 so it must be
version 18". Kludging around this bit of non-logic helped a lot.
Thanks for replying!
