Hi guys,
I'm very much a Lisp newbie (and thus assume that I'm doing a number
of things wrong) and can't make Lispbuilder-SDL work via ASDF-install.
I don't know how recent the ASDF build is, but I can see that it
includes a "cocoahelper" program which I was able to manually compile
afterwards.
However, I can't actually run the Lisp-side cocoahelper: the docs say
to do "(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :cocoahelper)" before trying to run
any SDL programs, which sounds about right since trying to run the SDL
examples crashed SBCL.
Trying to load cocoahelper that way produces:
"component "cocoahelper" not found
[Condition of type ASDF:MISSING-COMPONENT]"
Since I don't know anything about ASDF, I naievely grepped for
cocoahelper in the lispbuilder-sdl*.asd files and found nothing, so
copied an entry in lispbuilder-sdl.asd to say something like:
(:module "cocoahelper"
:components ((:file "cocoahelper"))
:serial t)
This caused healthy-looking compilation messages when I then did
"(require 'lispbuilder-sdl)", but threw the same error:
CL-USER> (require 'lispbuilder-sdl)
; compiling file
"/Users/oisin/.sbcl/site/lispbuilder-sdl/cocoahelper/cocoahelper.lisp"

The error was, again:

3: [RETRY] Retry SLIME REPL evaluation request.
4: [ABORT] Return to SLIME's top level.
5: [ABORT] Exit debugger, returning to top level.
Backtrace:

;;;;;;;
At this point I've no idea what to do and would really appreciate any input.
thanks and regards,
Oisín
