# "When we build software, it's a good idea to have a reliable method
# for getting an executable from it. We want any two reconstructions
# starting from the same source to end up in the same result. That's
# just a basic intellectual premise."
#     -- Christian Queinnec, in _Lisp In Small Pieces_, p. 313

# This software is part of the SBCL system. See the README file for
# more information.
#
# This software is derived from the CMU CL system, which was
# written at Carnegie Mellon University and released into the
# public domain. The software is in the public domain and is
# provided with absolutely no warranty. See the COPYING and CREDITS
# files for more information.

# The value of SBCL_XC_HOST should be a command to invoke the
# cross-compilation Lisp system in such a way that it reads commands
# from standard input, and terminates when it reaches end of file on
# standard input. Some suitable values are:
#   "sbcl"        to use an existing SBCL binary as a cross-compilation host
#   "sbcl --sysinit /dev/null --userinit /dev/null"
#                 to use an existing SBCL binary as a cross-compilation host
#                 even though you have stuff in your initialization files
#                 which makes it behave in such a non-standard way that
#                 it keeps the build from working
#   "sbcl --disable-debugger"
#                 to use an existing SBCL binary as a cross-compilation host
#                 and tell it to handle errors as best it can by itself
#                 (probably by dying with an error code) instead of waiting
#                 endlessly for a programmer to help it out with input
#                 on *DEBUG-IO*
#   "lisp -batch" to use an existing CMU CL binary as a cross-compilation host
#   "lisp -noinit -batch" 
#                 to use an existing CMU CL binary as a cross-compilation host
#                 when you have weird things in your .cmucl-init file
#   "openmcl --batch"
#                 to use an OpenMCL binary as a cross-compilation host
#   "clisp"
#                 to use a CLISP binary as a cross-compilation host
#
# FIXME: Make a more sophisticated command line parser, probably
# accepting "sh make.sh --xc-host foolisp" instead of the
# the present "sh make.sh foolisp".
# FIXME: Tweak this script, and the rest of the system, to support
# a second bootstrapping pass in which the cross-compilation host is
# known to be SBCL itself, so that the cross-compiler can do some
# optimizations (especially specializable arrays) that it doesn't
# know how to implement how in a portable way. (Or maybe that wouldn't
# require a second pass, just testing at build-the-cross-compiler time
# whether the cross-compilation host returns suitable values from 
# UPGRADED-ARRAY-ELEMENT-TYPE?)
# FIXME: --noprogrammer was deprecated in sbcl-0.7.5, replaced by 
# --disable-debugger. We still use the old form here because the
# change was not preannounced, and it would be rude to make our new
# version of SBCL unbootstrappable by immediately prior versions.
# But in a year or so the --noprogrammer here can change to
# --disable-debugger (and the deprecated --noprogrammer support can
# go away completely).

# If you're cross-compiling, you should probably just walk through the
# make-config.sh script by hand doing the right thing on both the host
# and target machines.

# The make-host-*.sh scripts are run on the cross-compilation host,
# and the make-target-*.sh scripts are run on the target machine. In
# ordinary compilation, we just do these phases consecutively on the
# same machine, but if you wanted to cross-compile from one machine
# which supports Common Lisp to another which does not (yet:-) support
# Common Lisp, you could do something like this:
#   Create copies of the source tree on both the host and the target.
#   Read the make-config.sh script carefully and emulate it by hand
#     on both machines (e.g. creating "target"-named symlinks to
#     identify the target architecture).
#   On the host system:
#     SBCL_XC_HOST=<whatever> sh make-host-1.sh
#   Copy src/runtime/genesis/*.h from the host system to the target 
#     system.
#   On the target system:
#     sh make-target-1.sh
#   Copy src/runtime/sbcl.nm and output/stuff-groveled-from-headers.lisp
#     from the target system to the host system.
#   On the host system:
#     SBCL_XC_HOST=<whatever> sh make-host-2.sh
#   Copy output/cold-sbcl.core from the host system to the target system.
#   On the target system:
#     sh make-target-2.sh
#     sh make-target-contrib.sh
# Or, if you can set up the files somewhere shared (with NFS, AFS, or
# whatever) between the host machine and the target machine, the basic
# procedure above should still work, but you can skip the "copy" steps.
