Thanks for the clear discussion. Maybe best to just return NIL for type always then. This has the potential added advantage that if it causes bugs, the bugs will /also/ appear on SBCL, which seems like the most tested configuration! Best, r On 3/15/10 Mar 15 -10:32 PM, Faré wrote: Should we

I don't see much that's helpful in the ACL manual http://preview.tinyurl.com/y8nfazw --- how user-homedir-pathname behaves on windows Beyond that, I'd suggest sending email to b...@franz.com to ask for advice. For that matter, Gary King was kinda deputized to speak for Allegro in this forum.

[asdf-devel] Patches for ABCL against asdf-1.641

2010-03-16 Thread Mark Evenson
Attached are patches in 'abcl-asdf.patch' to get asdf-1.641 to work against ABCL for the run-tests.sh. Unfortunately, you will need to build [ABCL from trunk][1] using at least svn r12550, because I had to patch ABCL to work with ASDF. And you'll need to apply the

Hi Robert, I am here but not as much as I'd like to be... Using an environment variable on Windows seems like a good plan to me. We could document which vars to use and then use the get/set env stuff already in AG to be consistent across platforms. Does anyone know where the Lispworks

I don't have access to a windows machine or a windows lisp implementation, but in asdf 1.642, I cargo-culted some paths, based on http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw60/LW/html/lw-1316.htm#marker-1026801 and http://windowsxp.mvps.org/usershellfolders.htm (which I found by googling for

[asdf-devel] ABCL trunk r12551 works with asdf-1.643

2010-03-16 Thread Mark Evenson
Thanks for applying my patches to ASDF, as it now appears that ABCL trunk (svn r12551 and later) runs pretty well with ASDF-1.643. The previous problem I noted with the binary locations getting collapsed was our problem which I fixed in ABCL. Attached is a (trivial) patch so that

2010-03-16 Thread Faré
Attached is a (trivial) patch so that 'run-tests.sh' actually uses the flags argument. Thanks. It was applied, and many small bugs were fixed in ASDF 1.647 as I did more testing and improved the test infrastructure. ABCL now passes the ASDF test suite:
