since i was unable to get cl-gd to work on mac os x with openmcl 1.0-rc1 or sbcl 0.9.5 and uffi-1.5.4, i decided to try it out with cffi-uffi-compat (cffi-luis branch). there were a few bugs exposed in cffi-uffi-compat, but Luis has been very quick to fix them. with the latest version, cl-gd now runs fine. only one test (test-017) fails, but the output visually appears similar. included below is a patch. it adds/changes: - how to compile the dylib for mac os x to docs and Makefile - adds .dylib to *shared-library-types* - changes the .asd file to use cffi-uffi-compat for openmcl. i didn't change it to use cffi-uffi-compat for sbcl since sbcl on x86 users might prefer uffi. something detailing this should probably be added to the docs. thanks, ...bryan
