(I'm hoping UFFI with SBCL/win32 will just work... I'll try the CFFI alternatives otherwise.) First, I tried using the code from http://brainrack.wordpress.com/2008/05/29/running-sbcl-on-windows/ to deal with not having sb-posix:chdir available. For some reason this resulted in failing to compile libmemutil.c (even though my-config.sexpr contains "(:prebuilt-libraries . t)" which should prevent even attempting to compile the file). Then I noticed all the Windows conditionals were of the form #+(or mswindows windows), which needed to be changed to #+(or mswindows windows win32) to work under SBCL/win32. These changes seem to allow compiling and loading elephant.asd (albeit with 4 warnings, 11 style warnings and 501 notes). I even managed to (open-store '(:bdb "/path/to/some/db/")) and do some basic operations, again with many warnings. This probably isn't anywhere near stable, but at least it looks like it could be made to work. -- Elliott Slaughter "Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere." - Frank Herbert
