Hi, I have been using OpenMCL and portable aserve. I ran into some trouble with character encoding, and after looking at the code decided that it would be difficult to fix. I am now considering alternatives. I read somewhere that Hunchentoot runs on OpenMCL so I'm going to try it out. Any experience with running Hunchentoot on OpenMCL, specially the bleeding edge OpenMCL? Any experience converting a project from aserve to Hunchentoot? Also I ran into a compile problem: ;Compiler warnings : ; Undefined function CCL::DEQUEUE-TIMER-REQUEST, in INVOKE-WITH-TIMEOUT. ; Undefined function CCL::ENQUEUE-TIMER-REQUEST, in INVOKE-WITH-TIMEOUT. ; Undefined function CCL::MAKE-TIMER-REQUEST, in INVOKE-WITH-TIMEOUT. from port-mcl.lisp: (defun invoke-with-timeout (seconds bodyfn timeoutfn) "Executes the function \(with no arguments) BODY-FN and returns its results but stops execution after DURATION seconds and then instead calls TIMEOUT-FN and returns its values." ;; from Portable AllegroServe (block timeout (let* ((timer (ccl::make-timer-request seconds #'(lambda () (return-from timeout (funcall timeoutfn)))))) (ccl::enqueue-timer-request timer) (unwind-protect (funcall bodyfn) (ccl::dequeue-timer-request timer))))) Probably the timer functions have been removed in some of the later versions of OpenMCL. Unless someone has a fix already I will dig into this. -- //Lennart Staflin
