Re: [asdf-devel] ASDF2: run-shell-command for clisp: what is the correct :output?

• Mirko Vukovic zvexb.ihxbivp@tznvy.pbz [2011-02-21 21:24:23 -0500]:

The asdf:run-shell-command for clisp is specified to use the output as terminal.

That makes its output unavailable to clisp.  Instead, one should have something like this: (read (ext:run-shell-command command :output :stream :wait t))

the only place where run-shell-command is used is get-uid which is implemented for clisp separately.

however, it does make sense to use

(ext:run-shell-command command :output (and *verbose-out* :terminal) :wait t)

instead of the current code.

note that clisp cannot accept arbitrary streams as :output and :input arguments here. http://www.cygwin.com/acronyms/#PTC
