Question about cffi-libffi on win32
Dear all, I'm using SBCL 1.1.4.0.mswin.1288-90ab477. I want to use cffi-libffi but failed. Here is what I did: 1. First, download libffi_3.0.6-1_win32.zip from http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/dependencies/ and drop libff-5.dll to a place that SBCL can find. 2. use quicklisp to load the cffi-libffi system. However, I got the following error: * (ql:quickload "cffi-libffi") To load "cffi-libffi": Load 1 ASDF system: cffi-libffi ; Loading "cffi-libffi" ; c:/msys/1.0/bin/gcc.exe -m32 -I/Documents and Settings/eryiju/quicklisp/dists/ quicklisp/software/cffi_0.11.2/ -o C:\Documents and Settings\eryiju\Application Data\common-lisp\cache\sbcl-1.1.4.0.mswin.1288-90ab477-win-x86\C\Documents and S ettings\eryiju\quicklisp\dists\quicklisp\software\cffi_0.11.2\libffi\libffi-win3 2.exe C:\Documents and Settings\eryiju\Application Data\common-lisp\cache\sbcl-1 .1.4.0.mswin.1288-90ab477-win-x86\C\Documents and Settings\eryiju\quicklisp\dist s\quicklisp\software\cffi_0.11.2\libffi\libffi-win32.c note: SBCL on windows can't redirect output. debugger invoked on a SIMPLE-ERROR in thread #<THREAD "main thread" RUNNING {23D A8AC1}>: External process exited with code 1.

There's an unmerged pull request which might be of interest: https://github.com/cffi/cffi/pull/30
