Welcome to OpenMCL!

OpenMCL is an open source (LGPL) Common Lisp implementation that runs on PowerPC hardware under Mac OS X and LinuxPPC, and (as of version 1.1) on x86-64 hardware under Linux, Mac OS X, and FreeBSD.

OpenMCL does not yet run on 32-bit Intel processors; a port is underway.

OpenMCL is in the process of being renamed to Clozure Common Lisp. You will see the two names being used interchangeably.

Getting OpenMCL

Current snapshots of OpenMCL are available via anonymous ftp at  ftp://clozure.com/pub/testing/.

The most recent snapshot release is from July 2007; there has been a lot of activity since then. Therefore, once you have the snapshot installed and running, you'll probably want to update from CVS. See UpdatingFromSource for instructions on how to do that.

Mailing Lists

There are two OpenMCL-related mailing lists hosted at clozure.com. These lists are managed with GNU Mailman software, which provides a simple web-based interface for managing subscription options.

*  openmcl-devel@clozure.com is intended for general and technical discussion of OpenMCL. Archives of list messages are available  here.

*  openmcl-announce@clozure.com is intended to be a low-volume list intended for release announcements. Archives are available  here.
