Re: image startup: package

   From: [email protected]

   this is a follow-up to a question that was asked recently - I'd like to
   start an image and
   invoke a function residing in a package other than CL-user. The "naive idea"
   alisp -I myimage -e '(in-package mypack)' -e '(myfuninmypack)'
   won't work as has been discussed earlier.

Have you considered something like this?

   alisp -I myimage -e '(mypack::myfuninmypack)'

   With the posted solution
   (extension to clinit.cl),
   however, I can only invoke the package upon image start, but not call a
   function -
   it would still be looked for in cl-user.

The phrase "invoke the package" doesn't mean anything.  You are
probably failinmg to find a solution because of lack of a clear notion
of what you are trying to do.  If you examine the file src/aclstart.cl
(which should be included in your distrobution) you will discover that
"-e" argument forms are read inside a with-standard-io-syntax macro.
This prevents them from changing the value any of the special
variables controlled by with-standard-io-syntax.
