I'm trying to learn McCLIM using ccl, and I just noticed several compiler warnings during the load process. I remember that, way back when, these were a big concern.
One set looks silly/simple enough that I think I'm qualified to submit a patch. To deal with some variables that get defvar'd in a different file (and a really minor typo):

These are really dependency errors, not declaration errors, and we don't really want these defined as specials. Instead, the system definition (presumably in mcclim.asd) should be modified to force the file that defines +nowhere+, +everywhere+, etc. to be loaded before design.lisp. If, for some reason, that is difficult, one could break out a separate file with the constant definitions, and no dependencies beyond the package-defining file, and load that early. best, r
