I tried the new elephant on winXP. 1. Allegro8 trial:
Error: In :IMPORT list, the symbol "ARRAY-TYPE-FROM-BYTE" not found in package #<The ELEPHANT package> [condition type: PACKAGE-ERROR] when loading c:\lisp\binaries\allegro-a8.0-mswindows-x86\lisp\libraries\elephant\src\elephant\serializer1.fasl 2. LispWorks 5 pro in file memutil.lisp This creates an error: (def-foreign-type array-or-pointer-char #+allegro (:array :char) #+(or cmu sbcl scl openmcl) (* :char)) changed 2nd line to: #+(or allegro lispworks) (:array :char) don't know whether it is the correct selection Then: Compilation aborted due to error between functions: Package SB-KERNEL not found. when compiling this: ;; A non-back-compatible change was made in SBCL 8 moving to SBCL 9, ;; in that the function copy-from-system-area disappeared. ;; This code is an attempt to allow compilation under bothe SBCL 8 and SBCL 9. ;; Thanks to Juho Snellman for this idiom. (eval-when (:compile-toplevel) (defun new-style-copy-p () (if (find-symbol "COPY-UB8-FROM-SYSTEM-AREA" "SB-KERNEL") '(:and) '(:or))) ) I then commented out all forms depending on ;#+#.(elephant-memutil::new-style-copy-p) and ;#-#.(elephant-memutil::new-style-copy-p) in file package lisp Compilation aborted due to error between functions: Duplicated names in "ELEPHANT" defpackage: "ELE".

The accessor function stars with colon. I deleted the colon. In file classes.lisp Error Defining (METHOD ENSURE-CLASS-USING-CLASS :AROUND ((EQL NIL) T)) visible from packages COMMON-LISP, CLOS. No idea what to do. 3. I was able to use elephant 6.0 with ACL 7 trial wherein I used cygwin to produce the dll s, and I copied the dll, with a newer date than the source, into the directory with binaries to prevent recompilation started with run-shell-command from asdf, which does not seem to work on windows. This is the script for libmemutil.dll: gcc -mno-cygwin -mwindows -std=c99 -c libmemutil.c dlltool -z libmeutil.def --export-all-symbols -e exports.o -l libmemutil.lib libmemutil.o gcc -shared -mno-cygwin -mwindows libmemutil.o exports.o -o libmemutil.dll And this is the script for libsleepycat.dll: gcc -mno-cygwin -mwindows -c -Wall -std=c99 -L/c/DB/Berkeley\ DB\ 4.4.20/lib/ -I/c/DB/Berkeley\ DB\ 4.4.20/include/ libsleepycat.c dlltool -z libsleepycat.def --export-all-symbols -e exports.o -l libsleepycat.lib libsleepycat.o gcc -shared -mno-cygwin -mwindows -L/c/DB/Berkeley\ DB\ 4.4.20/bin/ -llibdb44 libsleepycat.o exports.o -o libsleepycat.dll (I don't know how to use variables in shell scripts) 4. I will try again _______________________________________________________________________ Viren-Scan für Ihren PC! Jetzt für jeden. Sofort, online und kostenlos.
