I will soon be in the market for a new computer (yah, tax rebate!), and
I am considering one of the Intel based Macs. I thought that I would
start this thread to try and get a rough overview of the state of
various Lisp implementations on x86 OSX.
So
- Which Lisps work completely?
- Which Lisps are actively being worked on to run on x86 OSX, and how
far along are they?
- Which Lisps don't work, and really have no plans to work?
- Any thing else you feel like saying.
The only reference that I have seen is from Lemondor,
http://lemonodor.com/archives/001334.html#comments
I suspect that SBCL shouldn't take too much effort to get running
(since it already supports x86 & OSX but not combined), but will not
support threading.
Cheers

This seems relevant:
OpenMCL for Intel-based Macs?

See:
http://clozure.com/pipermail/openmcl-devel/2006-January/003127.html
"Clozure does have a contract to port OpenMCL to x86-64
(AMD64) Linux, work is underway on this, and it's expected to be
available in 2Q 2006."
So, no Mac (which is using 32bit Intel CPUs) and no Mac OS X this time.

clisp
I'd bet ecl and gcl will work too. (Thanks, gcc).

Hmmm. I haven't been able to get any recent version of gcl working on a
powerpc mac. Anyone else had luck in that regard?

On gmane.lisp.lispworks.general, there are reports
that the current PPC version of LispWorks runs on intel
chips (via Rosetta), albeit, apparently, very slowly at times,

See also the message from Martin Simmons (from LispWorks) in this
thread:
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.lispworks.general/5316>
"There will be an Intel native Mac version of LispWorks 5.0, which
is due in Q2 this year."
(Might take some minutes before it appears on Gmane.)
Cheers,
Edi.
