At a given time, there are generally two versions of Clozure CL that you might want to use (and therefore might want to build from source):
The released version
The development version, called the "trunk", which may contain both interesting new features and interesting new bugs
All versions are available for download from svn.clozure.com via the Subversion source control system.
For example, to get a released version (1.7 in this example), use a command like:
svn co http://svn.clozure.com/publicsvn/openmcl/release/1.7/xxx/ccl
To get the trunk version, use:
svn co http://svn.clozure.com/publicsvn/openmcl/trunk/xxx/ccl
Change the xxx to one of the following names:
darwinx86,
linuxx86,
freebsdx86,
solarisx86,
windows,
linuxppc,
or
darwinppc.
Tarball distributions of released versions are also available for download via ftp from: ftp://clozure.com/pub/release/. For additional information about availability of source and distributions see the Clozure CL Trac.
Subversion client programs are pre-installed on Mac OS X 10.5 and
later and are typically either pre-installed or readily available
on Linux and FreeBSD platforms. The Subversion web page contains links to Subversion client programs
for many platforms.
Users of Mac OS X 10.4 or later can also
install Subversion clients via Fink or MacPorts.
On Debian Linux (and on related Linux distros such as Ubuntu) run
apt-get install subversion or equivalent in the command-line or interactive package manager.
