Subject: AMD64 port
Date: Wed, 9 Feb 2005 05:03:39 +0100 (CET)
From: Waldek Hebisch

I have put preliminary version of AMD64 port at:

http://www.math.uni.wroc.pl/~hebisch/poplog/amd64-poplog.html

It is a patch on top of Birmingham 15.53f version (the patch is
90kb in size).

As I wrote the system can re-build itself succesfully. It created
saved images for pop11, prolog, clisp, pml. It includes text mode
ved. All things that I tested work, in particular external calls
with single and double precision floating point arguments,
callbacks from external functions to Poplog and external closures.

This version contain no X support. I principle X may just work
after enabling it in the build scripts, but I have not tried it.
