The following message is a courtesy copy of an article
that has been posted to comp.lang.lisp as well.
Greetings! GCL still has configuration files for NeXT, both m68k and
i386. They probably need a bit of updating. GCL does have a fully
functional linux/m68k port at present, on which it self-builds,
builds maxima and acl2, and most likely (waiting for the Debian
autobuilders...) axiom.
I have an old NeXT too which I'm not using anymore. I've been looking
for a linux port or effort underway, but there doesn't seem to be any
still active.
Please let me and address@hidden know if you want to try out the
build. It should be straightforward to address any possible issues.
Take care,
