[cl-markdown-devel] The function STREAM is undefined?

[Gary King]

Hi Brandon,

The good news is that I have NOT been able to recreate the problem  
you're seeing. Of course, that's also the bad news! Given the error,  
my guess is that something has gone wrong in the file dependencies  
(i.e., I've missed one) and when you build files get compiled in a  
different order. To be more clear, my guess is that a form like this  
(from utilities.lisp)

> (defmethod render-to-stream (document style stream-specifier)
>   (with-stream-from-specifier (stream stream-specifier :output
> 				      :if-exists :supersede)
>     (let ((*current-document* document)
>           (*current-format* style)
>           (*output-stream* stream))
>       (setf (level document) 0
>             (markup document) nil)
>       (render document style stream))))

is being compiled before the with-stream-from-specifier macro is  
defined. Lisp says, "OK, with-stream-from-specifier and stream must  
be functions. I'll wait and get their definitions later." But when  
later comes and Markdown calls render-to-stream, Lisp finds that  
there is no function associated with stream and complains.

Here are some things to try in no particular order.

1. Do you have success if specify a different stream. For example, t  
or *standard-output* or a pathname (if my guess is right, this won't  
help).

2. Does trying (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'cl-markdown :force t) help?

3. Does deleting all the fasls and recompiling help?

If you could try these steps and send the complete output, that would  
help. I'd suggest doing something like

(dribble "cl-markdown-problem.txt")
(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'cl-markdown :force t)
(dribble)

and then mailing the file (my apologies if I'm being too explicit  
<smile>).

thanks,
