Installation is quiht tricky with the shadowing-import, but there appear to be residual failures involving whitespace. I'm tring to get gcl 2.7 to pass Paul Dietz' ansi suite by September. The bulk of the remaining failures are pprint related. I can think of three options: 1) Build on the partial implementation we have now. All the non-state-related pprint appears to be working, there is just currently no state stored in a standard stream. 2) Use xp -- though I wonder about the performance 3) Use the cmucl port to ecl. Your thoughts most appreciated. > If you should try it, let me know. I'd offer to help, but I always > have a very hard time building gcl. Too many linuxisms. > Do you use BSD? Or solaris? If the former, do you know of any C libraries supporting C99 complex transcendental routines e.g. cexp? GCL 2.7 has support for unboxed complex arithmetic. Please forgive the late reply, but as to your question regarding mkdir, yes: COMPILER>(defdlfun (:int "mkdir") :void* :int) |libc|:|mkdir| COMPILER>(compile *) ;; Compiling /tmp/gazonk_16455_0.lsp. ; (DEFUN |libc|:|mkdir| ...) is being compiled. ;; End of Pass 1. ;; End of Pass 2. ;; OPTIMIZE levels: Safety=0 (No runtime error checking), Space=0, Speed=3, (Debug quality ignored) ;; Finished compiling /tmp/gazonk_16455_0.o. ;; Loading /tmp/gazonk_16455_0.o ;; start address -T 0xa9f9a0 ;; Finished loading /tmp/gazonk_16455_0.o #<compiled-function |libc|:|mkdir|> NIL NIL COMPILER>(directory "/tmp/hh4/") NIL COMPILER>#o755 493 COMPILER>(|libc|:|mkdir| "/tmp/hh4/" 493) 0 COMPILER>(directory "/tmp/hh4/") (#P"/tmp/hh4/") COMPILER> But this is only 2.7 and above. We've discussed a lower-level directory function -- windows portability appears to be the roadblock. Writing one atop openddir/readdir should be straightforward.
