Public Service Announcement

If you compile sbcl from source yourself, and you want to have threading enabled, then look at the top of the file base-target-features.lisp-expr and do what it says therein.

Thank you.

  1. Or, alternatively, the README file and the file to which it points you if you want to install or build the system.

    i’m sure a patch would be welcome that enables it by default on platforms where threading is stable… ;)

    Nothing about windows threads there….

    Oh, right, I knew this… but I just finished compiling a new version and once again forgot to set this. Starting over! (And I’d second Attila’s suggestion.)

  5. Attila: I’m sure there’s a good reason that this hasn’t been done…

    But yep, the readme tells you exactly what to put in what file to get this.

    As my only x86 machine, a colo server, is quite slow, I was irritated when I got caught out by this compiling the recent sbcl release.

    @Steva: sadly, no one has implemented thread support on windows yet.
