Hello Max,

I tried the code in *inferior-lisp* and it produced this function
#<FUNCTION (LAMBDA (PATH OPTIONS)) {100657C57B}>

I then tried compiling/loading a file, but the fasl still goes in my source directory.

I tried placing the code in ~/.swank.lisp, started emacs/slime, compiled/loaded a file, and still the fasl ends up in my source directory.

Is there some glue code that connect this function to compile-file in slime that might be missing?

By the way, when you email me, I get two messages per mailing.

Sincerely,

Paul Bowyer

No this is on Common Lisp side, not the Elisp side, it needs to run
after SLIME is already loaded. I have it in a ~/.swank.lisp file, which
Slime loads on CommonLisp side when its initializing.


I suggest that you test drive the code to verify that it works for
you, you can execute it from REPL without making it permanent.

Hello Max,

Thanks for the lisp code. Now I would like to know where you place this
code. Is it placed in .emacs or some other place? If it's placed in
.emacs, is there a particular location there? The reason I ask is that I
tried placing a defun in .emacs and I couldn't get it to work. Sorry for
my ignorance...

Sincerely,

Paul Bowyer

Here is what I been using for a few years, C-c C-k output goes to the
same place as asdf.  Note I don't remember why it does this through
find-symbol, but I it could be that Slime not always had the
*FASL-PATHNAME-FUNCTION* thing, and I wanted it to work on both new
and old slime.. You can probably convert find-symbol to defvar or
such.


;; Make C-c C-k in SLIME also use the correct directory
(let (fasl-finder-sym)
   (when (and (find-package :swank)

Hello Helmut,

I found this link on the slime-developer mailing list and I wondered if
it is usable and if so, how would I implement it? I don't have a lot of
experience fiddling with slime's internals.
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.slime.devel/8378/match=fasl

Is there some other convenient way to set the location for fasl files
from within a slime session so that when I do a compile/load, the fasl
goes to the same location as the output from asdf. Currently the output
from asdf goes to one place, and the output from compile/load goes to my
source directory.

I'm looking for a simple function call that would pass a pathname or
would return to the default if no pathname was passed or maybe just a
variable that I can set from within a slime session that would do the
job. I only want this to to happen for some projects and not happen for
others that don't yet use asdf.

Thanks,

Paul Bowyer
