Hello,

From the mailing list archives I see that, earlier this year, Edi didn't wan't to integrate the Carlos Ungil's port to CLISP's FFI:

Thanks. I've made a new release which fixes the bugs you found and adds a link to your CLISP port. I'm hesitant to add the port to the CL-GD distribution itself because it adds a large amount of code that I can't and won't maintain. I'd rather wait until CLISP is supported by UFFI... :)

Today I saw the thread on comp.lang.lisp from someone trying to use CLISP with CL-GD, looked at one of my todo items for CFFI ("test uffi-compat more") and decided to try CLISP/CL-GD/uffi-compat. Here's a patch: diff -u cl-gd-0.4.8.orig/cl-gd-test.lisp cl-gd-0.4.8.new/cl-gd-test.lisp --- cl-gd-0.4.8.orig/cl-gd-test.lisp Sun Sep 25 23:42:54 2005 +++ cl-gd-0.4.8.new/cl-gd-test.lisp Mon Sep 26 00:06:07 2005 @@ -39,8 +39,8 @@ (defparameter *test-directory* (merge-pathnames (make-pathname :directory '(:relative "test")) (make-pathname :name nil - :type :unspecific - :version :unspecific + :type nil + :version :newest :defaults cl-gd.system:*cl-gd-directory*)) "Where test files are put.") diff -u cl-gd-0.4.8.orig/cl-gd.asd cl-gd-0.4.8.new/cl-gd.asd --- cl-gd-0.4.8.orig/cl-gd.asd Sun Sep 25 23:42:54 2005 +++ cl-gd-0.4.8.new/cl-gd.asd Mon Sep 26 00:06:52 2005 @@ -53,4 +53,4 @@ (:file "drawing" :depends-on ("transform" "colors-aux")) (:file "strings" :depends-on ("transform" "colors-aux")) (:file "misc" :depends-on ("transform"))) - :depends-on (:uffi)) + :depends-on (#-clisp :uffi #+clisp :cffi-uffi-compat)) Common subdirectories: cl-gd-0.4.8.orig/doc and cl-gd-0.4.8.new/doc diff -u cl-gd-0.4.8.orig/specials.lisp cl-gd-0.4.8.new/specials.lisp --- cl-gd-0.4.8.orig/specials.lisp Sun Sep 25 23:42:54 2005 +++ cl-gd-0.4.8.new/specials.lisp Mon Sep 26 00:15:59 2005 @@ -121,16 +121,16 @@ (defconstant +gd-cmp-true-color+ 256 "One image is a true-color image, the other one is palette-based.") -(defvar *shared-library-directories* `(,(namestring (make-pathname :device :unspecific - :name nil - :type :unspecific - :version :unspecific - :defaults cl-gd.system:*cl-gd-directory*)) - "/usr/local/lib/" - "/usr/lib/" - "/usr/lib/cl-gd/" - "/cygwin/usr/local/lib/" - "/cygwin/usr/lib/") +(defvar *shared-library-directories* + `(,(namestring (make-pathname :name nil + :type nil + :version :newest + :defaults cl-gd.system:*cl-gd-directory*)) + "/usr/local/lib/" + "/usr/lib/" + "/usr/lib/cl-gd/" + "/cygwin/usr/local/lib/" + "/cygwin/usr/lib/") "A list of directories where UFFI tries to find cl-gd-glue.so") (defvar *shared-library-types* '("so" "dll") "The list of types a shared library can have.

I see Carlos's CLISP port includes some changes to some CL-GD functions other than the FFI part so I assume those changes should be integrated too, but I guess he would know better regarding what needs fixing for proper CLISP support. The pathname changes might break other lisps, I haven't tested, sorry. I hope this helps integrate CLISP support into CL-GD. -- Luis Oliveira luismbo (@) gmail (.) com Equipa Portuguesa do Translation Project http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/registry.cgi?team=pt
