Hi,
I've been helping with ASDF regression testing on Windows, where we use a cygwin shell to run the ASDF test scripts.
We don't have LispWorks licensed for Windows currently, so I looked at using the Personal Edition. But this is apparently not possible because the ASDF tests assume a "console image," which is supposed to be created with save-image --- functionality which is not available in the Personal Edition.
So my questions are:
1. Is there something I'm missing which would indeed allow me to produce a console image (or something which behaves like one) from LWW Personal?
2. If not, would anyone with a licensed LWW be willing to run the ASDF regression tests? I will be happy to step you through the process.
For what it's worth, so far I have the following implementations covered for Windows:
Allegro CL 9.0 CCL 1.10-dev CCL 1.9 SBCL 1.1.12
Anyone who would like to test any other implementations on Windows should feel welcome to reach out to me for guidance on how to set them up as well.

No.

I could take a quick look (next week).

Hi,
I tried to help on this one but came up with a command line nightmare using LWW64. Basically, there is some obscure quoting mechanism for which I don't know the rules. I can do this on the command line : c:>c:\local\LispWorks\lw-console.exe -siteinit - -init - -eval "(progn(print (+ 2 3))(quit))" and it works ok. However, I can manage to find a way to load a simple file. The obvious quoting doesn't work : C:>\local\LispWorks\lw-console.exe -siteinit - -init - -eval "(load "c:/temp/f oo.lisp")" LispWorks(R) (for the Windows(R) operating system) Copyright (C) 1987-2012 LispWorks Ltd.

Error: Reader cannot find package c.
and I couldn't find one that does. It also fails from bash (MSYS). So if someone has a clue for that case, I will be grateful.
Best regards,

I could help, albeit I'm very reluctant to Cygwin. However I'm using Mingw64 with MSYS if that can work.

Dear Fabrice, Nick,
Thank you for offering to help out!
I think MSYS should work as long as it gives a reasonable bash and sh shell to run scripts.
I have attached the little script I use to run the ASDF tests on all the platforms. It's not automated yet to detect which OS you are on - you just have edit the script manually to uncomment the executable(s) for the platform you are currently testing.
Basic instructions to run the tests:
1. Establish a directory to be the root of your testing area. 2. cd to this directory. 3. git clone git://common-lisp.net/projects/asdf/asdf.git 4. put the attached script into this directory 5. edit the script to point to your LWW console image 6. ./run 7. observe the output in ./asdf/build/results/lispworks.text 8. If interesting, report the output to asdf-devel@common-lisp.net
Best Regards,
Dave
As far as I can tell, this just worked for me. Environment is Cygwin. It ran 48 tests: 47 passing and 1 failing (test-run-program.script)
I'll send Dave the full details.
