Hi,
>From the command line, I can call ecl with the -dir directive to set the
"root" directory for the ecl install as follows:
<snip>
~ > ecl -dir /opt/local/lang
ECL (Embeddable Common-Lisp) 11.1.1

> (require :asdf)
;;; Loading #P"/opt/local/lang/asdf.fas"
;;; Loading #P"/opt/local/lang/cmp.fas"

All is good. I had previously executed the commands
~ > sudo cp -a /usr/local/lib/ecl-11.1.1 /opt/local/lang
~ > sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/ecl-11.1.1
However, this seems to to work when -dir is passed in cl_boot. For
example, consider the following:
#include <ecl/ecl.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
cl_object x;
char* boot_opts[3];
boot_opts[0] = (char*) argv[0];
boot_opts[1] = (char*) "-dir";
boot_opts[2] = (char*) "/opt/local/lang";
cl_boot(3, boot_opts);
CL_CATCH_ALL_BEGIN(ecl_process_env()) {
x = c_string_to_object("(require :asdf)");
cl_print(1,x);
x = si_safe_eval(3, x, Cnil, Cnil);
cl_print(1,x);
} CL_CATCH_ALL_END;
cl_shutdown();
}
This was compiled as follows:
gcc -o little-test main.c -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lecl
Now, when you execute "little-test", you get:
~/Desktop > ./little-test
(REQUIRE :ASDF)
NIL
/However/, if I move the ecl directory back to its original position, in
/usr/local/lib, I get the correct result:
~/Desktop > ./little-test
(REQUIRE :ASDF)
;;; Loading #P"/usr/local/lib/ecl-11.1.1/asdf.fas"
;;; Loading #P"/usr/local/lib/ecl-11.1.1/cmp.fas"
("ASDF" "CMP")
I cannot find anything in the cl_boot documentation that would suggest
this does not work. Did I miss something, or have I stumbled onto a bug?
Thanks in advance,
Aaron
