Re: cormanlisp patches for ilisp

Hello Reini & Bill,

I too have been unable to get ilisp 5.12.0 working with
Corman Common Lisp 1.5 and XEmacs (21.4.8-2, cygwin and
win32). My steps are:

1. Install CCL 1.5 to C:\Program Files\Corman Lisp 1.5
('CCL').

2. Copy the patches from the corman.net site (previously
downloaded; the site has gone away for the moment): 2 .cpp
files and 13 .lisp files.

3. Download and unzip the latest ccl-1.5-patches.zip (dated
16/06/02).

4. Copy the patches directory to the CCL directory.

5. Copy the src/clconsole.cpp file to CCL/clconsole.

6. Copy the 5 sys/*.lisp files to CCL/sys.

7. Copy init.lisp, compile-ilisp.lisp and makeilisp.bat to
the CCL directory.

8. Edit compile-ilisp.lisp to point to my XEmacs.

9. Rebuild CCL via 'makeall.bat'. This seems to work:

    C:\Program Files\Corman Lisp 1.5>clconsole -execute sys/compile-sys.lisp
    ;; Error: Could not open file ~A for reading
    Warning: function not defined: STREAM-INPUT-BUFFER-POS
    Warning: function not defined: STREAM-INPUT-BUFFER-NUM
    58

    #<PACKAGE "COMMON-LISP-USER">
    NIL

    C:\Program Files\Corman Lisp 1.5>

10. Run 'makeilisp.bat'. This produces:

    ...
    C:\Program Files\Corman Lisp 1.5>clconsole -execute compile-ilisp.lisp
    ;; Error: Could not open file ~A for reading
    Warning: function not defined: STREAM-INPUT-BUFFER-POS

    C:\Program Files\Corman Lisp 1.5>pause
    ...

11. Unzip ILISP 5.12.0 into xemacs-packages/lisp. Configure
the Makefile (for cygwin or win32 XEmacs; I've tried both).

12. Copy the ilisp/cormanlisp.lisp file into
xemacs-packages/lisp/ilisp-5.12.0.

13. Make ILISP.

14. Edit my init.el to include:

    (autoload 'cormanlisp  "ilisp"
              "Inferior Corman Common Lisp." t)
    (defvar *cormanlisp-dir*)
    (setq *cormanlisp-dir* "C:\\PROGRA~1\\CORMAN~1.5\\")
    (setq cormanlisp-program
          (concat *cormanlisp-dir* "clconsole.exe"
                  " -image " *cormanlisp-dir*
                  "cormanlisp-ilisp.img"))


15. Run XEmacs. Eval "M-x run-ilisp". This produces:

    Starting C:\PROGRA~1\CORMAN~1.5\clconsole.exe -image 
C:\PROGRA~1\CORMAN~1.5\cormanlisp-ilisp.img ...
    ILISP V5.12.0  Use M-x ilisp-bug for problems and suggestions.
    Type :quit to exit.

    Type :quit to exit.

16. If I try and load a file (C-c C-l), I get:

    ;;; An error occurred in function OPEN-FASL-FILE:
    ;;; Error: Could not open requested file:

    ;;; Entering Corman Lisp debug loop.
    ;;; Use :C followed by an option to exit. Type :HELP for help.
    ;;; Restart options:
    ;;; 1   Abort to top level.

I hope that all this might help Reini to suggest what I'm
doing wrong. I'm very excited that ILISP now has CCL
support, and I appreciate Reini's efforts in producing the
patches. I'm sure we're nearly there...

Cheers,

John :^P
