CMUCL T-shirt Slogans
Monday, August 30, 2004
There was a humorous exchange on IRC today regarding potential CMUCL t-shirt slogans (background: you need to have a copy of CMUCL in order to build CMUCL and the recursive build process is a bit, umm, complicated):
stesch: Do they sell "I have built CMUCL and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" shirts?Apparently, building CMUCL is not for the faint-hearted! Or, as Peter Van Eynde has said, "Recompiling CMUCL is not an exact science...". ;-)
dan_b: "I built CMUCL and I still had to stitch together my own lousy t-shirt"
rtoy_: "Starting with your own cotton seeds too!"
antifuchs: dan_b: "my older 'I built CMUCL...' t-shirt had to be patched in order to allow me to build this one"
dan_b: "I built CMUCL while wearing this t-shirt that they sent me as a prize for having built it"
Here are some links to pages that deal with building CMUCL:
- Pierre Mai's build scripts
- Martin Cracauer's build scripts
- Eric Marsden's instructions on re-building CMUCL
- Paul Werkowski's notes
