Doesn’t mean we can dig around a bit still 
From syslog when running the tests (adding it to the LIBS doesn’t solve anything, but maybe just add it)?
KERN: runtime_loader: Cannot open file libpcre.so (needed by /Share/wip/clisp/src/lisp.run): No such file or directory````Strange, libpcre.so is not listed among dependencies. And if I understand it correctly, Lisp has a better ppcre then Perl. But of course, we can try. I am a bit overwhelmed by now.
How can I produce .hpkg from .recipe? Should I install HaikuPorter?
EDIT: The downloaded tarball from Git contains sacla-tests folder, which contain some more tests and can be run with:
make check-sacla-tests.
I believe, the most relevant tests are ANSI compliance tests, which can be invoked with:
make check-ansi-tests
but I do not see the folder with them, it needs to be downloaded separately, it seems.
It’s not just haikuporter, you also need to clone “haikuports”, wrote a small note about it here:
The recipe should go to: dev-lisp/clisp (as we follow Gentoo’s layout).
Looking at the others via repology I don’t see libpcre listed there too, libxcrypt but we don’t have that one (and probably don’t need it). So for now just ignore my message on it. 
Found in unix/INSTALL file the following information:
Dependencies: each package “clisp-modname” depends on “clisp” and, maybe, on an external library to which it interfaces, e.g., postgresql or pcre. It does not depend on any development tool (gcc, libffcall, pcre-dev).
So, libpcre.so is a real shared library expected for some CLISP module.
Today, there are 2 news for CLIPS:
The recipe is not working however, most probably because I do not know how to use haikuporter. It says:
Warning: Port clisp-2.50 is unsupported on this architecture.
Continue (y/n + enter)? y
ok
'Port' object has no attribute 'recipeKeys'
The recipe can be downloaded here.
First thing I noticed was missing BUILD_PREREQUIRES:
BUILD_PREREQUIRES="
cmd:awk
cmd:cmp
cmd:gcc$secondaryArchSuffix
cmd:make
cmd:msgfmt
"
Is there a new release? The tags I used were too old and needed “libtoolize -fci” in the src directory.
EDIT, the 2.50 branch is OK, no need for libtoolize there.
Git repository contains the branch clisp-2.50 whose latest commit is 1 year old, compared with clisp-master with latest commit 3 month ago, So I think 2.50 release was about that time. I believe sourceforge page is not maintained since ~2010, but I can ask CLISP team of course.
To call the devel packages (requirements), you call:
devel:libfoo$secondaryArchSuffix
Not:
lib:libfoo${secondaryArchSuffix}_devel
EDIT, don’t call runConfigure, it will error out on several options not being available, directories to set are prefix/bindir/datarootdir and docdir.
For config.lisp take a look here:
What name did you gave the recipe?
The 2.50 branch shows the wrong version in Terminal

Oh, you are right @Begasus. So, the recipe name would be clisp-2.49.recipe, not clisp-2.50.recipe.
This was also suggestion from CLISP team. I prepared and sent them cfghaiku.lisp, which hopefully will be available soon.
No recipe should be named “clisp-2.50.recipe” as that is the source it’s pulling in (otherwise $portVersion would be wrong here).
On that note, last commit on that 2.50 has been from January last year, that is also imported (backported?) to the master branch, that since then seen several commits (master), so in my eyes master branch is more up to date then the 2.50 (outdated) one.
At repology there not that much 2.50 versions mentioned also. My 2 cents would go for the latest commit on master and use “clisp-2.49.93~git.recipe” as it’s name?
EDIT: I can’t seem to run any tests on the 2.50 archive, no matter what I tried, on the master commit the tests run fine?
It seems haikuporter starts doing something helpful (i.e. not only complains). The .hpkg built is way too small (837 bytes) and probably is empty (clisp executable alone is 20 KB). First, haikuporter cannot find the following inside BUILD_REQUIRES:
devel:ffcall$secondaryArchSuffixdevel:gettext_libintl$secondaryArchSuffixdevel:readline$secondaryArchSuffixdevel:ncurses6$secondaryArchSuffixInside BUILD_PREREQUIRES the following is not found:
cmd:msgfmtWhere these prerequirements come from?
The build seems to follow the full process however.
Can you elaborate on this? For now I just removed runConfigure and did nothing for setting prefix/bindir/datarootdir and docdir. Maybe this is the problem why the generated .hpkg is so small?
Package here is over 8MB
The recipe deffinitly needs those devel packages listed in BUILD_REQUIRES (you didn’t forget the ‘R’ in REQUIRES?)
cmd:msgfmt is part of the gettext base package, if not installed (which would supprise me) it should complain with an error, could you post that?
When using runConfigure you would get errors like these when the build starts:
./configure: invalid argument --sysconfdir=/packages/clisp-2.49.93~git-1/.settings
Sorry, it was a typo in my post (not in recipe). Otherwise other packages would not be find as well
The .hpkg is indeed empty:
For now, the operational art of recipe is as following:

clisp$secondaryArchSuffix = $portVersion
cmd:clisp$secondaryArchSuffix = $portVersion

REQUIRES="

Could you past your “current” recipe content somewhere like bpa.st again, could compare that then to what I already have, ps in my screenshot I saw that the manpages are installed in the wrong place, so probably need that to the list in BUILD also
