Hello all,
I apologize if this is either the wrong place to get help with ecl, or if this is asked all of the time.
this is the right place, don't worry :)
I've written a small replacement for i3status with common lisp and want to use ecl to make a binary so when i3wm loads, it just loads the cl-i3status binary. I've looked at the ecl documentation online and it suggests doing something like this:
(ql:quickload :cl-i3)
(asdf:make-build :cl-i3
:type :program :move-here #P"/home/brandon/Programming/lisp/cl-i3/" :prologue-code '(require 'asdf))So, I run this and the binary appears. However, when I try to run it, I get this output:
;;; Loading #P"/usr/lib/ecl-21.2.1/asdf.fas" ;;; Computing Hangul syllable names Condition of type: MISSING-COMPONENT Component "str" not found
Available restarts:
- (RETRY) Retry ASDF operation.
- (CLEAR-CONFIGURATION-AND-RETRY) Retry ASDF operation after resetting the configuration.
Top level in: #<process TOP-LEVEL 0x557ade1c2f80>.
I imagine it is just because of my use of quicklisp packages, but how do I compile the packages into the binary?
this error message seems to suggest that you use a system "str" without declaring it in dependencies. In your project file my-project.asd add
(defsystem "my-project" ... :depends-on (... "str") ...)
depending on what you want from your project you may not need (require 'asdf) in the prologue code. Also you may consider passing :monolithic t flag to make-build.
Make sure that you study well-commented example in ecl source repository under examples/asdf_with_dependence/.
Last but not least make sure that you use the latest release (currently it is 21.2.1) or a build from the branch "develop" if you are not afraid of cutting your self on the bleeding edge ;).
If none of these advises helps then please try to minimize the test case to the minimum (basically an asd system with a singly stub file and all dependencies you need) and make an issue ticket on gitlab
https://gitlab.com/embeddable-common-lisp/ecl/-/issues
mind that such action requires registration on the gitlab platform.
Thank you very much for any help you can offer,
Brandon Hale
