[Ecls-list] simple starts for newbies...

[Teunis Peters]

quick update:  (note: partially working)
aside: should I continue using cffi for working with glib?  swig works 
fine with that.  Otherwise I'll have to manually build for uffi (or the 
internal ffi) and it's a BIG project, requiring weird options at 
points.  There doesn't seem to be any way to support "pkg-config 
glib-2.0 --cflags" type issues in ecl *wry grin*

installing the darcs tree of 'cffi' worked fine.

echo "(require 'asdf) (require 'babel) (asdf:make-build :cffi :type 
:fasl :monolithic nil)" | ecl

I suspect the (require 'babel) is unnecessary.

however, now:
ecl -compile glib.lisp
fails
opening lines:
(defpackage #:glib
  (:use #:common-lisp #:cffi)
  (:export))

(in-package #:glib)


result:
;;; Compiling glib.lisp.
