[Maxima-discuss] ASDF3 in Maxima's lisp core

[Alexey C. <ale...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I've noticed that in Maxima's lisp core ASDF3 is not enabled. Having ASDF3
enabled opens up the full use of QUICKLISP from within Maxima. And, thus,
Maxima's functionality can be extended with, for example, custom numerical
code either in LISP or in C or FORTRAN via CFFI.

I have recompiled Maxima from sources with my local installation of SBCL
and now I do have ASDF3. I've done it under Linux, which was quite simple.
Compilation under Windows, however, is the whole other matter...

Is there a way to enable/load ASDF3 in existing Maxima lisp-core without
recompilation?

Or would it be possible to distribute future versions of Maxima with
ASDF3-enabled Lisp-core?

Best regards,
Alexey
