dear asdf devels,
i want to conditionally compile and load some lisp files on-demand at runtime, and i would like to use the asdf machinery for that. the set of files are not known at development time.
the code in question is load-resource-file here:
http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/darcsweb.cgi?r=cl-l10n-cl-l10n;a=headblob;f=/...
the current implementation is broken on asdf3 due to the assert (and a kludge in general):
(defun load-resource-file (resource-file) (bind ((output-files (asdf:output-files (make-instance 'asdf::compile-op) (make-instance 'asdf:cl-source-file :pathname resource-file :parent (asdf:find-system :cl-l10n))))) (assert (length= 1 output-files)) (bind ((output-file (first output-files))) (ensure-directories-exist output-file) (when (or (not (cl-fad:file-exists-p output-file)) (> (file-write-date resource-file) (file-write-date output-file))) (compile-file resource-file :output-file output-file)) (load output-file))))
any help, pointers, thoughts are welcome!
I had code that looked just like that in cl-launch, now also copied to exscribe (see compile-and-load-file in exscribe.lisp). I suppose I should make it part of asdf/lisp-build even though asdf/defsystem itself won't use it. Is it OK for you to depend on a recent asdf-driver?
