Package: cl-asdf Version: 1.109-2 Severity: wishlist The function asdf:run-shell-command is not right for LispWorks 5.x: #+lispworks (system:call-system-showing-output command :shell-type "/bin/sh" :output-stream *verbose-out*) I test a expression on LispWorks 5.0: CL-USER 1 > (system:call-system-showing-output "id -u" :shell-type "/bin/sh" :output-stream t) ; id -u ; 10003 0 To make common-lisp-controller:get-uid work well, the call to system:call-system-showing-output must come with two additional keyword arguments, :show-cmd nil, and :prefix "". I running LispWorks 5.x on Debian, I use this script to save a LispWorks image which can then load all debian CL packages: (in-package :cl-user) (load-all-patches) (load "/usr/share/common-lisp/source/common-lisp-controller/common-lisp-controller.lisp") (common-lisp-controller:init-common-lisp-controller-v4 "lispworks") ;; (load "asdf-patch") (save-image (merge-pathnames (make-pathname :name "lispworks") (lisp-image-name)) :remarks "LispWorks 5.0.2" :environment t) So, I HOPE a patch can be merged into cl-asdf, as in attach (asdf.lisp.patch). Now I must load a patch for this purpose (asdf-patch.lisp). Thanks!
