I cloned the externals-clasp repo and attempted to follow the directions in README.md and ran into the following two problems:

• llvm failed to build because I don't have OCaml installed, and by default it wants to build bindings for OCaml. I was able to solve the build issue by adding "--disable-bindings" to the ./configure commands executed inside the makefile's llvm-setup-debug and llvm-setup-release rules.
• Next, zlib failed to build with a confusing message about -Werror being passed to the compiler. I found that the makefile contains CC=$(CLASP_CC) with CLASP_CC being undefined on my system. The zlib configure script is seeing a compile failure, and assuming it was due to strict error checking, when it's actually due to no compiler being specified. My fix was to add "export CLASP_CC=clang" to my local.config file.

This is running on OSX 10.9.5.

Not sure if this is specific to my system setup but bjam bin was missing from externals/release/bin. This caused make boost-build to fail while running make subAll.

Attempted to build on OSX 10.9.5:

$ git clone https://github.com/drmeister/externals-clasp.git
[...]
$ cd externals-clasp/
$ cp local.config.darwin local.config
$ make
[...]
make ecl-setup
make ecl-clean
(rm -rf ecl/build)
(cd ecl; ./configure --prefix=/Users/brettmorgan/local/externals-clasp/common)
/bin/sh: line 0: cd: ecl: No such file or directory
/bin/sh: ./configure: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [ecl-setup] Error 127
make: *** [setup] Error 2

In Linux (Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS), if you have ocaml installed, "make" fails in the configure stage saying that it couldn't find "ctypes" and "OUnit" (or something similar).
Installing ctypes via opam solves both errors.
Sorry I don't have the exact error messages. If it helps I can try cleaning up my environment and reproducing them.

fix sets TARGET_OS with output of uname :

When I follow the instructions and type make' in order to make externals-clasp, I can see that it does acd' into boehm-7.2 and then
it tries to execute ./configure, but there is no such file. There is,
however, a file configure.ac in boehm-7.2.
