Hello, What would it take to get a port of IOLib to SBCL on windows? I'm not volunteering because I don't know anything about windows, but some people I know do and might step up if they knew the scope of the work involved. Thank you. -pete

One or more persons with (very) good knowledge of Windows programming and Common Lisp. The amount of work to be done is IMO considerable - the start would be to port cffi-grovel - then the sockets, I/O multiplexer, file system functions, etc... -- Stelian Ionescu a.k.a. fe[nl]ix Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur. http://common-lisp.net/project/iolib

What about libevent? That might reduce the windows knowledge a bunch, but still may require a cffi-grovel port to windows. -pete

I don't want to depend on a C library(other than the standard C library) -- Stelian Ionescu a.k.a. fe[nl]ix Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur. http://common-lisp.net/project/iolib
