As I mentioned earlier on this list, I thought it would be nice to eliminate the need for a Makefile, and let asdf handle the compilation of C files as necessary, so the resulting .so files wind up in, and get loaded from, the same place as all the .fasl files, even under systems such as asdf-binary-locations and common-lisp-controller.
The attached patch does just that.
This patch also integrates my two previous patches, mostly because I forgot
to start from a clean tree. <g>
Some notes, because it's a sizeable patch and notes are good:
* All variables in config.lisp can be set between loading the elephant and
ele-bdb systems. In my case, that means:
(defmethod perform :after ((o load-op)
(c (eql (find-system :elephant))))
(flet ((fs (s) (find-symbol (symbol-name s) :elephant)))
(eval `(setf ,(fs :*sleepycat-foreign-library-path*)
"/usr/lib/libdb-4.4.so"
,(fs :*sleepycat-pthreads-path*)
nil))))
in the .asd file for the system which depends on elephant. Interactive use
might be more along the lines of:
(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :elephant)
(setf elephant:*sleepycat-foreign-library-path* "/usr/lib/libdb-4.4.so")
(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :ele-bdb)
* Two new special variables are added: *sleepycat-include-dir* and
*sleepycat-lib-dir*, which take the place of the Makefile's DBINCDIR and
DBLIBDIR. They're easy to set (see above), but need smarter defaults so
they don't have to be.
* I took the liberty of moving uffi:load-foreign-library calls out of
sleepycat.lisp and memutil.lisp and into (asdf:perform load-op), though
how they wind up there may not be immediately obvious. Hopefully you can
follow it.
* There's groundwork to support compilers other than gcc. It may or may not
be useful.
* Much of the C-file groundwork could probably be factored into an asdf
extension which other projects could benefit from. I've had enough fun for
one day, so that can wait. :)

Was the code supposed to get shorter doing that?
