I reported a bug and attached a patch to it. The patch is using a small lib i wrote to solve; I couldn't find an easy way to do it with ANSI CL (this may be my fault). The patch seem to solve the problem (windows7-64 and ccl-1.8), but I couldn't test it to a great extend. This is because I found the but by trying to use osicat which now seems to be broken with the latest git version. Is there any package that uses the groveler and should work on windows so that I can test the fix?
Thanks for the bug report. I agree with Greg that simply using plain make-pathname thus not adding an extra dependency would be better. Can you rewrite the patch taking that into consideration?
Re: osicat being broken, could you report that to the osicat mailing list?
Re: testing cffi-grovel on window, Osicat is probably your best bet. If that fails, writing a simple test and adding to cffi-tests would be nice.
Finally, your library does seem useful. Perhaps it could be integrated into CL-FAD and/or Osicat?
Cheers,
