Running on Joyent's SmartOS

Provision a machine. I used a 32-bit "base" image.

Install software. Use pkgin se foo to search for foo in the list of available software packages.

pkgin in subversion-base
pkgin in gcc47
pkgin in gmake
pkgin in m4

After checking out a copy of the ccl sources, edit lisp-kernel/solarisx86/Makefile.

Index: Makefile

It should then work to do (rebuild-ccl :full t).
