[Matlisp-users] Trying to use Matlisp on CMUCL

[rif <ri...@MI...>]

Hello.

I am a relative newbie to LISP, so I may not know some things which
are obivous, but I'm having some trouble getting Matlisp installed under
CMUCL.

I just downloaded the latest version from the CVS repository.  After
uncommenting most of the makefile (why is everything in the main makefile
commented by default?), it builds a bunch of .o files, after which I get
the following errors:

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/rif/Software/matlisp'
/usr/bin/lisp -eval '(progn (load "start.lisp"))'
; Loading #p"/home/rif/Software/matlisp/start.lisp".
Converted SETLOGICALROOT.
Converted GETLOGICALROOT.
Converted DEFLOGICALPATH.
;; Loading #p"/home/rif/Software/matlisp/system.dcl".
;; Loading #p"/home/rif/Software/matlisp/config.lisp".


Error in function EXTENSIONS:LOAD-FOREIGN:  /usr/bin/ld failed:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmatlisp

Restarts:
  0: [CONTINUE] Return NIL from load of "start.lisp".
  1: [ABORT   ] Skip remaining initializations.

Debug  (type H for help)

(EXTENSIONS:LOAD-FOREIGN "matlisp:lib;lazy-loader.o"
                         :LIBRARIES
                         ("-L/home/rif/Software/matlisp/lib"
                          "-R/home/rif/Software/matlisp/lib" "-lmatlisp"
                          "-L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/3.0.4"
                          "-L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/3.0.4/../../.." ...)
                         :BASE-FILE
                         ...)
Source: Error finding source: 
Error in function DEBUG::GET-FILE-TOP-LEVEL-FORM:  Source file no longer exists:  target:code/foreign.lisp.
0] 

BTW, I am running a new Debian woody installation, with cmu installed
from the debian package, and I am using gcc 3.0.4 (browing the mailing
list indicated there were some problems with gcc 2.95, so I switched
versions).

I get a library in the toplevel directory of matlisp called static.a.
Perusal of the makefile indicates that one target of make distclean is
lib/libmatlispstatic.a.  In matlisp.mk, the static target makes a
library called $(LIB)static.a, but there's nothing in matlisp.mk that
can set $(LIB).  I assume this is somehow related to the problem,
although I've tried renaming the static.a library to some other things
to no avail.

Any help you can offer is appreciated.

Cheers,

rif

Seems like a makefile problem.  You should not be getting
static libraries.  The latest cvs version is configured to
get dynamic libraries which should produce a libmatlisp.so 
file.  Are you sure you got the latest 'cvs' version or did you
get matlisp 1.0b?
