I'm partial to the book "Successful
Lisp" but neither book covers ASDF. This tutorial was of great help
in the past:
http://common-lisp.net/~mmommer/asdf-howto.shtml
but it is not quite helping me enough
here. In both Case 1 and Case 2 below, my .sbclrc does not change, yet
Case 2 works just fine. I would like to be able to do an asdf load on bank-match
and have it pull-in cl-ppcre, but as it stands I must manually load it
first.
(setf asdf:*central-registry*
'(
;;
*default-pathname-defaults*
;;;
#P"C:\\cygwin\\home\\W049945\\prg\\lisp-asdf\\series-2.2.9\\"
#P"C:\\cygwin\\home\\W049945\\prg\\lisp-asdf\\cl-ppcre-1.3.2\\"
#P"C:\\cygwin\\home\\W049945\\prg\\redick\\lisp\\"
#P"C:\\etl\\y.com\\trunk\\zan\\approximate-matching\\src\\lisp\\"
))
Case 1: attempt to load cl-ppcre via
my defpackage: throw error 'The name "CL-PPCRE" does not designate
any package.'
relevant source:
(defpackage :bank-match
(:use :cl :asdf :cl-ppcre)
)
(in-package :bank-match)
(asdf:defsystem bank-match
:description "Approximate
bank matching"
:author "Terrence

:licence "Artistic"
:version "1.0"
:serial t
:components (
(:file "clean")
)
)
(progn
(declaim (optimize (debug 3)
(safety 3)))
(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op 'bank-match))
Case 2: load cl-ppcre manually and then
attempt to load my bank-match package using a simple asdf call => works
just fine

Your technical question was answered already, but I suspect (I may be
wrong, of course) that you make the same mistake many Lisp newbies
make - you're confusing packages and systems. A "package"
is a
first-class Lisp object defined in the ANSI standard. You can read
about it here for example:
http://gigamonkeys.com/book/programming-in-the-large-packages-and-symbols.html
(Read the whole book if you haven't done so already.)
A "system" (that's a common usage of the name although there's
no
fixed definition for it) is something that's defined by a defsystem
facility like ASDF - it's more or less a collection of source files
plus instructions on how they are to be compiled.
Very often there's a system and a package of the same name, like it's
the case for CL-PPCRE. That doesn't have to be the case, though.
The
names could be different, one system could define more than one
package or no package at all, you can define a package without
defining a system, etc.
HTH,
Edi.
