Re: [Sbcl-help] Semi-functional Windows package

[Roman M. <rom...@gm...>]

For the correct core lookup, set SBCL_HOME env. variable to c:\Program
Files\Steel Bank Common Lisp\1.0.37\

Kittens of Death is already reported in LP.

The last failure is due to the launcher program sensitivity to spaces, so it
thinks that C:/Program is a path to the application, and the rest components
are arguments. Quoting the full path should help.
