[cffi-devel] support for .a libraries

[Alexis Gallagher]

Hi,

I was wondering if define-foreign-library can currently handle libraries 
that are in the "ar" archive format.

I keep getting an error "Unable to load foreign library". I thought it 
wasn't looking in the right load path, but I tried specifying the 
absolute path, directly and with *foreign-libraries-directory*, but that 
didn't help.

I'm new to lisp so please let me know if this is the wrong forum for 
this question. I'm running CMUCL on Linux x86.
