Hi
i have some basic question:
Let's say, i have defined a system where with four files: system.asd, packages.lisp, file1.lisp, file2.lisp, where file1 and file2 share the same package and are split more or less only for better organisation purpose.
So in packages.lisp i define only one package and use the respective in-package expression for it in the beginning of the two files. Besides that file1 should be loaded before file2.
In my asd file i have something like this:
(defsystem "system" :depends-on ("ext-system") :serial t :components ((:file "packages") (:file "file1") (:file "file2")))
Trying to load this system with (ql:quickload "system") i get an error, that there is no package for file1. i discovered that when i define a package for file1, although never use it, things work as i want.
Does one have to define a package for each file listed in :components? Is there some other, more suitable way to fulfil my purpose (use the same package in both files?
Thanks for any help Matus
