Subject: [mel-base-devel] Mel-Base compile failure on newer SBCL
Message-ID: <4AF5E8EF.1090201@gmail.com>

I just tried out the ASDF load of mel-base and got the failure that was reported
earlier on
http://osdir.com/ml/mel-base-devel/2009-06/msg00003.html

A fix is reported here...

http://www.rayservers.com/blog/mel-base-compile-fails-on-symbol-unix-file-kind-not-found-in-the-sb-unix-package
for google and as a courtesy to this list:

Fix per http://www.mail-archive.com/stumpwm-devel at nongnu.org/msg01554.html
in file  clbuild/source/mel-base/lisp-dep/utils.lisp

around line 102 for SBCL, change to:

   #+sbcl (eq :directory (apply (or (find-symbol "NATIVE-FILE-KIND" :sb-impl)
                                   (find-symbol "UNIX-FILE-KIND" :sb-unix))
                               (list (namestring x))))

I have yet to use mel-base, at least it compiles now.

Cheers,

---Venkat.

I've applied a variant to the mel-base repository at

   http://www.crispylogics.com/opensource/repos/mel-base

and created a new release tarball (0.9-2) for CLiki.

I've tested this release with the current release binaries of SBCL for  
Darwin (and fixed a darwin related bug too).

If you encounter further problems or have any questions regarding  
usage - feel free to ask. I'm always interested to hear how others use  
mel-base.

ciao,
Jochen Schmidt
