Dear ECL Community,
Could you let me know how to do the following, please?
- How to load file "quicklisp.lisp" in an embedded instance of ECL - How to make the function REQUIRE available in an embedded instance of ECL - How to load ASDF 3 or newer in an embedded instance of ECL
I am able to load file "quicklisp.lisp" when I run "/usr/local/ecl.exe".
I saw that there is an "ecl-quicklisp.lisp" but I'd like to learn how to load non-ECL Quicklisp.
I am running ECL 21.2.1. that I compiled with MSYS MinGW x86.
The first error that comes up is that the function REQUIRE is not available.
(load "quicklisp.lisp")
;;; Loading "C:/msys64/home/Admin/quicklisp.lisp"
Debugger received error of type: SIMPLE-ERROR
Module error: Don't know how to REQUIRE SOCKETS.
Error flushed.
So I manually loaded SOCKETS.
(load #P"C:/msys64/usr/local/sockets.fas")
;;; Loading "C:/msys64/usr/local/sockets.fas"
#P"C:/msys64/usr/local/sockets.fas"
Then I tried again and I was able to progress further.
(load "quicklisp.lisp")
;;; Loading "C:/msys64/home/Admin/quicklisp.lisp"

Debugger received error of type: SIMPLE-ERROR

Hey Binh,
it is not that the function REQUIRE is not available, it is that it doesn't know /where/ to look for sockets.fas. I see that you have unix pathnames, so ecl should not expect the flat structure. Did you pass "--prefix=/usr/local/" to configure (or something in this spirit)? If so, did you perform make install afterwards? If so, then require should be able to find sockets.fas in /usr/local/lib/ecl/... , and if not - it can't find it. The same applies to the module "ASDF", so I think that having installation with known pathnames should fix all your issues on that front.
Alternatively you may specify that ASDF and SOCKETS are builtin (see ./configure --help for details).
As the last resort, if you want to push in the same direction you've already started - load ASDF.fas the same way you've loaded SOCKETS.fas (it should be in the same directory) - that will ensure ASDF 3.1.8.
Best regards, Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for your reply!
Yep, I passed "--prefix=/usr/local/" to configure and then performed make install afterwards, as per the notes on Autoconf based configurations. (https://ecl.common-lisp.dev/static/manual/Building-ECL.html#Building-ECL)
I agree, I think there is something funny going on with my pathnames.
I compared the features variable and the list of packages in the ECL executable and my program and they were the same. So I had a hunch there something external was different. So I copied my executable to "/usr/local" to be with "ecl.exe", and I was able to call (require 'asdf).
$ /usr/local/a.exe
...
(require 'asdf)
;;; Loading #P"C:/msys64/usr/local/asdf.fas"
("ASDF" "asdf" "UIOP" "uiop")
When I my executable from my home directory, I was not able to call (require 'asdf).
(require 'asdf)
Debugger received error of type: SIMPLE-ERROR
Module error: Don't know how to REQUIRE ASDF.
Error flushed.
I tried loading ASDF with the directory but I got the following error.
(load #P"C:/msys64/usr/local/asdf.fas")
;;; Loading "C:/msys64/usr/local/asdf.fas" Debugger received error of type: FILE-ERROR Filesystem error with pathname "SYS:help.doc". Either
- the file does not exist, or
- we are not allowed to access the file, or
- the pathname points to a broken symbolic link.
Error flushed.
So I copied "/usr/local/help.doc" to my home directory and then I was able to load ASDF.
(load #P"C:/msys64/usr/local/asdf.fas")

It seems that for mingw we do some unholy mashup between posix and window -specific options, that is we do a flat structure instead of a tree (/usr/loca/bin etc). In that case you are expected to ship all your modules in the same directory as the application (quite like with dll files when they are shipped with a program).
Regarding shipping particular modules with ECL ./configure --with-asdf=builtin --with-tcp-sockets=builtin should do the trick.

Debugger received error of type: SIMPLE-ERROR
Could not load ASDF "3.0" or newer
Error flushed.
I tried loading the other ".fas" files in "/usr/local" such as "asdf.fas" but that did not help.
I checked the *features* variable in both versions but they were the same.
$ ./a.exe
