This is another typo in README.og (already fixed in repository) after building host compiler you have to: export ECL_TO_RUN=`pwd`/android/ecl-32/bin/ecl rm -r build ./configure --host=arm-linux-androideabi \ --prefix=`pwd`/ecl-android \ --with-cross-config=`pwd`/src/util/android.cross_config \ --disable-soname where `pwd`/android-ecl-32/bin/ecl is path to your host ECL.
I already have /opt/local/bin/ecl, it's provided by MacPorts (version 16.0.0).
OK, no problem with that. Keep in mind though that it has to be 32 bit build with disabled longdouble. It will be changed when cross-compilation framework work is done, but for now you'll probably have to build your local host compiler.

Ok, I switched to Linux (GNU/Linux debian 8.1 jessie to be exact), since it seems it's not possible to compile the cross ecl on MacOSX. But despite having a cross gcc correctly installed, when compiling the cross ecl, some libtool script cannot find it: libtool: compile: arm-linux-androideabi-gcc -fPIC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../src -I/home/pjb/src/android/ecl/src/bdwgc/libatomic_ops/src -fPIC -Wall -Wextra -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DANDROID -DPLATFORM_ANDROID -DUSE_GET_STACKBASE_FOR_MAIN -DIGNORE_DYNAMIC_LOADING -DAO_REQUIRE_CAS -g -O2 -fPIC -D_THREAD_SAFE -MT atomic_ops.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/atomic_ops.Tpo -c /home/pjb/src/android/ecl/src/bdwgc/libatomic_ops/src/atomic_ops.c -fPIC -DPIC -o atomic_ops.o ../libtool: line 1749: arm-linux-androideabi-gcc: command not found Makefile:597: recipe for target 'atomic_ops.lo' failed See the end of log.txt in the attached archive. -- __Pascal J.

these are my notes on cross compiling ECL from x64 linux to mipsel linux. first compile a compatible ecl on the host (some config, like word size, must match the target): apt-get install gcc-multilib CFLAGS=-m32 LDFLAGS=-m32 ABI=32 ./configure --prefix=/opt/ecl-host --enable-longdouble=no then for the target: export STAGING_DIR=/home/alendvai/workspace/lambdanative/OpenWrt-SDK-ar71xx-generic_gcc-4.8-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2.Linux-x86_64/staging_dir export TOOLCHAIN=${STAGING_DIR}/toolchain-mips_34kc_gcc-4.8-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2/ export TARGETROOT=${STAGING_DIR}/target-mips_34kc_uClibc-0.9.33.2/ PATH=/opt/ecl-host/bin/:${TOOLCHAIN}/bin:${PATH} \ CFLAGS="-I${TOOLCHAIN}/include -I${TARGETROOT}/usr/include" \ LDFLAGS="--sysroot=${TARGETROOT}" ./configure \ --prefix=/opt/ecl-mips --disable-longdouble \ --with-libffi-prefix=${TARGETROOT} \ --host=mips-openwrt-linux --with-system-gmp PATH=/opt/ecl-host/bin/:${TOOLCHAIN}/bin:${PATH} make at first it will fail. create a file build/cross_config, edit it, and invoke the above ./configure again.

Hey, I've noticed in your scripts that you build without the dffi - please try removing this option. It seems unrelated but who knows. I can't reproduce your error unfortunately. I have however a suspicion why libtool can't "see" the toolchain in the path. src/bdwgc/libatomic_ops/configure:7972:LIBTOOL='$(SHELL) $(top_builddir)/libtool' Probably the PATH variable gets "cleaned" when invoking the shell command and libtool from libatomic_ops can't see the libtool. Please try remove the invocation of libtool via /bin/sh src/bdwgc/libatomic_ops/configure:7972:LIBTOOL='$(top_builddir)/libtool' If it works for you please let me know so I'll fix it in the sourcecode.

I'm not sure if it could be adapted to Android, but I remember there being a GTK ECL SLIME client or IDE, unfortunately I don't remember its name at the moment, but others may remember? -- Matt

Init file isn't loaded at start. You may add loading it in user.lisp under assets/lisp/etc/user.lisp in ecl-android sources. I'd advise you though to use (get-quicklisp) instead, because it replaces QL minitar and gunzip with precompiled versions (much faster then the bytecompiled ones).

You should put slime-2.14/ in assets/lisp/home/ . I'll add it to the readme later.

I wouldn't recommend integrating ecl-android yet. As mentioned a few times it's an alpha quality and as you have noticed it has many shortcomings. I hope to improve this state soon (after assembling the next ECL Quarterly). Some notes regarding working with ecl-android: - all lisp files are in assets/lisp/ directory - they are extracted on the first boot of the application, so if you modify for instance user.lisp and install application over the previous installation it won't get updated unless you'll clear the application data - first loaded file is etc/init.lisp, then it's etc/user.lisp, please customize the latter (not the former file) - environment variables: $ROOT points to the toplevel lisp directory (assets/lisp) $ECLDIR never change this ($ROOT/lib) $ETC contains init.lisp, user.lisp ($ROOT/etc) $HOME contains user files ($ROOT/home) working lisp library maintains two fifos: $ROOT/ecl_output and $ROOT/ecl_input . Input isn't used yet (had some problems with the slime and working stdin) and output is slurped and shown in the APP. Application has special service (android-specific) which enables two intents: "ENSURE_LISP" and "EVAL" - the latter takes data argument which contains sexp to exec. This part *is* prone to change. You may export this service to the other applications by modifying AndroidManifest.xml (that means that you will be able to call lisp from application which isn't derivered from ecl-android).
