[Armedbear-devel] controlling from where ASDF loads .abcl files
by Robert Dodier 15 May '14

15 May '14

Hi, I'm trying to use ABCL + ASDF to compile and load Maxima. It used to work so I guess there have just been some small changes to ABCL and/or ASDF that I need to take account of. After (require 'asdf) and (setf asdf:*central-registry* '(*default-pathname-defaults*)) (which wasn't necessary before, but that doesn't matter), I find that (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :maxima) fails with an error like this: #<THREAD "interpreter" {EE920}>: Debugger invoked on condition of type FILE-ERROR File not found: /home/robert/.cache/common-lisp/abcl-1.3.0-fasl42-linux-x86 /home/robert/tmp/maxima-5.33.0/src/binary-abcl/maxima-package.abcl But maxima-package.abcl does exist in /home/robert/tmp/maxima-5.33.0/src/binary-abcl, and (since the current working directory is /home/robert /tmp/maxima-5.33.0/src) (load "binary-abcl/maxima-package.abcl") succeeds. Then I can select option 2 (accept) and continue to the next file, autoconf-variables.abcl, load it by hand, continue to the next, nregex.abcl, etc etc. /home/robert/.cache/common-lisp doesn't exist. How can I tell ASDF to look in the same place that it actually wrote the file? Thanks for any advice. I found some ASDF documentation but couldn't figure it out. best, Robert Dodier _______________________________________________ Armedbear-devel mailing list Armedbear-devel(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/armedbear-devel

[Armedbear-devel] loading Maxima via ASDF
by Robert Dodier 15 May '14

15 May '14

After some flailing around, I managed to figure out how to load Maxima via ASDF + ABCL. For the record, ASDF 3.1.0.103 + ABCL 1.3.1. The problem I reported about ASDF not looking in the right place for the .abcl files might be due to the maxima.asd specifying a place without telling ASDF (?? not sure). By disabling ASDF's output translation stuff, the problem went away. Alternatively, one could nuke the assignment to ASDF:*BINARY-OUTPUT-DIR* in maxima.asd and let ASDF figure out where to put stuff (somewhere below ~/.cache/ common-lisp, it appears). It appears to be necessary now to specify something for ASDF:*CENTRAL-REPOSITORY*. I hadn't found that necessary before. (Last time I tried might have been a couple of years ago.) So with maxima-5.33.0.tar.gz unpacked, this recipe worked for me: (0) cd maxima-5.33.0/src (1) edit maxima.asd to say binary-abcl instead of binary-ecl for ASDF:*BINARY-OUTPUT-DIR*. (Not strictly necessary.) ASDF thens writes stuff into ./binary-abcl. (2) launch ABCL via: java -jar path/to/abcl.jar (3) in ABCL repl: (require 'asdf) (setf asdf:*central-registry* '(*default-pathname-defaults*)) (asdf:disable-output-translations) (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :maxima) (4) launch Maxima interpreter: (cl-user::run) Plotting, help, run_testsuite all work as expected; test suite has a few unexpected errors, mostly numerical.

[Armedbear-devel] HEADS-UP: r14694 changes semantics (sometimes) of CL:NIL to Java from JAVA:+NULL+ to JAVA:+FALSE+
by Mark Evenson 15 May '14

15 May '14

With [r14694][], we now convert CL:T and CL:NIL to JAVA:+TRUE+ and JAVA:+FALSE+ respectively when invoking JVM methods through the JAVA package, establishing the "natural" equivalence for boolean truth values. This may break some existing usage in that previously CL:NIL was converted to a Java 'null' reference. Users now need to specify JAVA:+NULL+ explicitly when desiring to pass 'null' Java references as an argument in invoking JVM methods. As far as I can tell from what I can from testing examples of available consumers of the JAVA package, this doesn’t break existing usage, as we have been advising use JAVA:+NULL+ to denote a null reference explicitly since its introduction some three years ago [r13359][]. And until I inspected the underlying JAVA code yesterday, I wasn’t even aware of the conversion of CL:NIL to JAVA:+NULL+. Nevertheless, please speak up if this breaks something for you that you relied upon. Unless I hear otherwise, I am going to back port this change to abcl-1.3.1 as the last change before a release. While strictly speaking from a release engineering perspective, this sort of change should wait until a major revision release, I am planning on using abcl-1.3.1 in production next week with [lsw2][], which sort of relies on this behavior. I beg the ABCL community’s indulgence in this deviation from release engineering best practices, unless somebody speaks up soon that this is a very bad idea. This change implements the requests in [ticket-84][] and [ticket-339][]. [ticket-84]: http://abcl.org/trac/ticket/84> [ticket-339]: http://abcl.org/trac/ticket/339 [r14694]: http://abcl.org/trac/changeset/14694 [r13359]: http://abcl.org/trac/changeset/13359 [lsw2]: https://code.google.com/p/lsw2/ -- "A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before but there is nothing to compare to it now." _______________________________________________ Armedbear-devel mailing list Armedbear-devel(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/armedbear-devel

[Armedbear-devel] ABCL on iOS via RoboVM?

Hello list, I was wondering whether anyone has tried to get ABCL running on iOS by means of RoboVM [1]? I see that people have done this with Clojure [2]. Also, can I ask how the Android build target is coming along? I'm weighing up LambdaNative [3] vs. alternatives for Lisp development on iOS and Android.
