[Asdf-devel] Some ASDF patches
by Faré 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

Dear Robert, I have two local branches with these patches. May I merge into master? The input-string function was added for symmetry while hacking cl-launch, though I ended up not using it, to remain compatible with older versions of uiop. The uiop:getenv bug was discovered while fixing cl-launch regressions on LispWorks. The fasl-op thing is what he had discussed before (only minimally manually tested). —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month. — Theodore Roosevelt

[Asdf-devel] Call for Testers (just quick bootstrap test for now)
by Dave Cooper 01 Aug '14

Dear All, We are releasing Gendl (our free, open-source product) as a pre-built distribution, based on CCL, on MacOS, Linux, and Windows (I'm giving a tutorial on Gendl at Montreal ILC, so this is part of the reason for making convenient self-contained builds available). At this point we'd like to request anyone who is interested to download one or more of these bundles, and simply test the start-up. The respective downloads for current builds are here: http://downloads.genworks.com/gendl1587p004-devo-ccl.dmg (Mac) http://downloads.genworks.com/gendl1587p004-windows-oss.exe (Windows) http://downloads.genworks.com/gendl1587p004-ccl-linux.zip (Linux) The Mac and Windows versions are self-contained including Emacs and enough of Quicklisp/Slime to get bootstrapped (quicklisp and asdf are not built-in to the image). The Linux distribution assumes that you have "emacs" installed and in your path. The start-up is as follows: Mac: simply drag-to-install and click the application icon. Windows: run the setup executable and run one of the .bat files in the toplevel directory (or from Start menu if you have one) Linux: Unzip the .zip file, cd into the new directory, and ./run-gdl This should start emacs, Slime, and give you a GDL-USER> prompt. On Linux, we have had a report that the Slime tries to load ASDF. I'm not sure why this is, and I'm not able to replicate the issue on any Linux systems I have access to. So especially if anyone is able to replicate this ASDF loading error on the Linux version, it will be greatly appreciated (especially if you can see why it's trying to load asdf!) By the way, these distributions should work regardless of any other Lisp or Emacs configuration you currently have on your machine (and shouldn't interfere with them). Note that I still have to fix up the Quicklisp copyright statements in the startup banner for the included quicklisp libraries (this is done in the Linux distro but the other distros still have to be rebuilt with the proper statements). My plan is to make available a "stable" and "nightly" for each of these builds at all times. -- My Best, Dave Cooper, Genworks Support david.cooper(a)genworks.com, dave.genworks.com(skype) USA: 248-327-3253(o), 1-248-330-2979(mobile)
