"First steps" how to compile problem

Hi, Peter,

I've been thinking about getting into Lisp and Cells for a while, and your 
how-to prompted me to give it a try now.  Not to mention all the work 
you've been doing, making cells-gtk look like more of a going concern 
now.  Thanks for that.

I followed all your instructions, and when I had a compile problem, I 
removed everything, downloaded again/updated from cvs, and tried again 
from scratch, with the same results.  I'm new at lisp and must say the 
compile errors and debugger aren't exactly intuitive to me, though I'd 
guess it involves the cffi function call :(

My compile stops in tree-view.lisp, as the lines below show.  I am using 
straight Debian Etch (32bit 2.6.18-5-k7 kernel), gcc that came with it 
v4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease)(Debian 4.1.1-21), SBCL 0.9.16, cffi 0.9.2, 
and the cells/cells-gtk from cvs using the commands on your site.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
  Bob Willan

The SBCL is quite old, I'd try with a newer version.

Thanks for the positive feed back.  Though I see that I might have 
opened a can of worms here ;)

Ok, I since you included all the relevant logs, I will try to shed some 
light on it.

As Friedrich pointed out, try using a newer sbcl.  You can download 
binary realeases at sbcl.org.  I have not tested anything with a pre 
1.0.x version of SBCL.

Re: "First steps" how to compile problem - fixed

Peter and Friedrich,

Thanks to both of you for your help.  It was the older version of SBCL 
that was the problem.  I've got a working demo now, too cool.

Peter, you might mention on your Getting Started page that (require :asdf) 
might be needed before anything else.  The Debian pkg was setup so I 
didn't need to do that, but the sbcl 1.0.12 compiled tar I downloaded 
did - I received a "Don't know how to REQUIRE CELLS." error without it 
when I typed (require 'cells).  I suppose maybe I should add that to a 
sbclrc initialization file so its always there?

Maybe I'll think about moving up to Debian Unstable (except the kernel, 
because my VMWare Workstation won't work correctly with the latest 
kernels - my only commercial license and its the only software I have 
problems with that I can't get around or fix!)

Thanks, again,
  Bob

Glad to hear it worked for you now.  I added a paragraph to the guide 
about installing a recent sbcl.

Yep, exactly.  Thanks for pointing that out.  I added to the guide how 
to include (require 'asdf) (require 'asdf-install) in your .sbclrc.

I also created a section warning potential users that it might be 
difficult ;-)

A great testimony to open source :)  Maybe you should check out qemu. 
It is a little harder to set up than VMWare, but does a pretty good job

Leandro,

sorry for the late reply.  I've been busy over here.

Alright, so the error actually occurs in one of SBCLs source files.

Check out qemulator (http://qemulator.createweb.de/). Together with qemu
this is as simple to use as vmware, without the need to constantly compile
an external kernel module, which actually makes it even more convenient ;)

Re: Patch suggestion for "load.lisp"


Roerd,

thanks for spotting this.  However, I don't see a load.lisp in CVS.  Did 
you install cells-gtk from CVS, from one of the tarballs, or from 
asdf-install?

We have recently changed cells-gtk quite a bit, but the changes are only 
available in CVS, so I'd recommend you go with that.  The preferred 
method to load cells-gtk is via  asdf.  I explain this in more detail in 
my guide over here:

http://www.washbear-network.de/peterblog/getting-started-with-cells-gtk/

(I know, I should get my own (less silly) domain at some point)

If you have further questions, let us know.

Peter

Sorry, my bad here.  I just learned that load.lisp is supposed to be in 
CVS, too.  I will get it from the tarballs, merge in your patch (so it 
is useful, after all!), and commit it to CVS later tonight.

I was wrong here.  The (load "load") method should work, too.
