I'm responding to Thorsten's attempt to build Prism in CLISP. It has
been done, but at this point you have to really know more about Lisp.
I will work on this - the basic problem is that defsystem thinks that
for CLISP the filenames should end in .lsp not .cl so it does not find
any of the source files.
cl-acl-compat does not provide any of the ACL functions that are used in
Prism. These functions are not in the ANSI standard. They are mainly
operating system functions. The way to fix this is to add to Prism
conditionals for other lisps which hopefully have similar extensions.
Some of these are unnecessary in other Lisp systems. I will work on it.
The make-prism.cl file is used to build binaries, either dumped lisp
images or standalone binaries. It is completely ACL specific. I will
rename it make-prism-acl.cl and work on creating similar make-prism
files for other lisps.
Regarding the directory tree structure, it reflects the fact that Prism
is composed from several subsystems, some of which (slik and dicom
especially) should be packaged separately and the packaging should just
include the package dependencies. If that is done right, it should be
possible to rewrite the compile and binary generation to handle it.
I'll work on breaking up the code into separate units, then someone who
understands the Debian packaging can help with the install scripts.
An alternative name for uw-prism could be rtp-prism-uw but uw-prism is
probably ok too.
I'm really pleased with your interest in this project. I've subscribed
to debian-med so no need to send to me separately unless you want to
send a private message.

That is my prompt.
I sticked by the user reference manual and ignored the requirement of
Allegro Common Lisp.
I used clisp and was able to load the config file.
During (mk:compile-system :prism) lots of warnings like:
; - Source file prism/src/prism.lsp not found, not loading.
WARNUNG:
Source file "prism/src/prism.lsp" do not exist.
Continue, ignoring missing files.
appeared but no error.
As make-prism.cl contains some Allegro expressions, I installed
cl-acl-compat and added (require 'acl-compat) to make-prism.cl
Unfortunately this results in: MK:DEFSYSTEM: missing system ACL-COMPAT.
And this is the point where my lisp knowledge ends ...
If anybody has any clue, I named the package uw-prism (there are lots of
other prisms in Debian) and put everything into the repository
@Ira: Is there any chance that you might change the way you release new
versions of prism? I admit that there are advantages of putting
everything in a directory structure like <year>/<month>/<file>.
Unfortunately the automatic new-version-detection of Debian can not
handle this structure very well ...
