[Matlisp-devel] Install problem

[Helmut J. <jar...@sk...>]

Hi,

I have checked out the GIT version of Matlisp. To build the package
I've followed the instructions on the GIT web page:
autoreconf --install
configure  --enable-sbcl  --with-lisp-exec=/usr/bin/sbcl \
  --with-atlas=/usr/lib64/libatlas.so  --enable-static=no \
  --libdir=$PWD/lib
make

This fails:

 compiling file "/Src/Src/LANG/Lisp/matlisp-9999/packages.lisp" (written 09 MAR 2015 07:38:12 PM):
; compiling (DEFPACKAGE "FORTRAN-FFI-ACCESSORS" ...)
debugger invoked on a SB-KERNEL:SIMPLE-PACKAGE-ERROR in thread
#<THREAD "main thread" RUNNING {1002D36953}>:
  The name "CFFI" does not designate any package.


I have the cffi package installed here.
When I do

(require :cffi)
(load packages.lisp)

it succeeds.

I'm using SBCL-1.2.9 here

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut

Thanks for the report and fix!  I guess we need to add a dependency on
cffi before we start compiling the FFI accessors.

(I haven't built matlisp in ages, so it will take some time for me to
test and verify the fix.)
