Hello, I am interested in using mk-defsystem with abcl. I have mk-defsystem version 3.4 interim 3. I see there is a defsystem defined in asdf.lisp but it doesn't appear to be the same. FWIW someone else made the choice of the defsystem version and I'm not in a position to change it. I tried to patch up defsystem.lisp to stop it complaining about stuff (all related to packaging iirc) but I wasn't able to get to a point where (oos "foo" :compile) would work. I googled for info about abcl / defsystem but came up empty handed. Thanks for any light you can shed on this topic. Robert Dodier PS. The goal here is to recompile Maxima (http://maxima.sourceforge.net) with abcl. |

Yes, asdf is different, and I've not heard of anyone getting mk- defsystem working with abcl, although I know of no reason why it should be particularly difficult to do so. > I tried to patch up defsystem.lisp to stop it complaining > about stuff (all related to packaging iirc) but I wasn't able > to get to a point where (oos "foo" :compile) would work. > > I googled for info about abcl / defsystem but came up empty handed. > Thanks for any light you can shed on this topic. > > Robert Dodier > > PS. The goal here is to recompile Maxima (http://maxima.sourceforge.net) > with abcl. I gave Maxima 5.9.1 a try last October, using the instructions in INSTALL.lisp. As I recall it was necessary to edit a few things to add abcl to the reader conditionals that were already there, and eventually I ran into what I thought was an abcl compiler bug. Unfortunately I ran out of time to investigate it further. -Peter |

Peter, I gave up trying to load mk-defsystem and instead I used it to generate a list of files which I then compiled & loaded with ABCL. On the whole that was pretty successful. Here are some notes about that: http://groups.google.com/group/sci.math.symbolic/msg/e0f4c355d8c22c53?hl=en& Keep up the good work on ABCL and I'll try it again when there is a new ABCL release. Thanks very much for creating and maintaining ABCL. All the best, Robert Dodier |
