[Openmcl-devel] Error Compiling CLIM2

[Rainer Joswig]

Hi Craig,

that's tricky. You need to do some more work before you can compile the code.


You need to check the sources first for feature expressions.

for example:

In utils/clos-patches.lisp  :


#+CCL-2
(defun-inline compile-file-environment-p (environment)
  (if (eq environment 'compile-file)
      t
      (ccl::compile-file-environment-p environment)))


This looks like it is for something like Coral Common Lisp, later known as MCL.
So this is for a MCL which had CCL-2  (Coral Common Lisp 2.0) as a feature.

But it looks like about function would also be useful for Clozure CL.

Your error happens because the code calls compile-file-environment-p with the argument compile-file.
Above function patches the MCL variant to allow that arg. But the patch is not active for Clozure CL.
And the Clozure CL version is called for some reason, but it does not take care of the COMPILE-FILE argument.

So Clozure CL also uses :CCL-somenumber to name different version.
Since Clozure has different version numbers, CCL-2 is not on the feature list.
It has: :CCL :CCL-1.2 :CCL-1.3 :CCL-1.4 :CCL-1.5 :CCL-1.6 :CCL-1.7 :CCL-1.8 :CCL-1.9 :CCL-1.10 :CCL-1.11 :CCL-1.12

So what you need to do:

* find all code where the feature CCL-something is used.

* check whether the code is still working in Clozure CL

* Change:  #+ccl-2  should be #+(and mcl ccl-2) , to keep the old MCL functionality

* for Clozure CL either copy the code, create a new version, ...

  The use feature expression to make sure it is clear for which Lisp it is...
  #+:CLOZURE-COMMON-LISP

Regards,

Rainer
