[Ecls-list] Standalone executables gone mad...

[Brit Butler]

Dear list,

I have been working on getting Paktahn ported to ECL, among other reasons
for it's small binaries. Paktahn itself is a package management wrapper for
archlinux. My code is on gitorious
here<http://gitorious.org/%7Eredline6561/paktahn/paktahn-dev>
.

Paktahn now builds on ECL. Hooray! Unfortunately, the resulting binary
"paktahn-mono" complains when invoked that there is "No package named NIL
and no restarts are available". Attempts to press ctrl-d or execute
(ext:quit 0) at the ECL prompt are met with errors as seen
here<http://redlinernotes.com/docs/ecl-bug/ecl-weirdness.txt>.
I have to kill the process to exit.

I'm unsure what's happening here. My build process is to (require 'paktahn),
all libraries it uses compile successfully then I call (paktahn::build-core)
which is currently defined in main.lisp as (asdf:make-build :paktahn :type
:program :monolithic t :epilogue-code '(ext:quit 0)). I have tried a number
of different variations on the epilogue-code, including (paktahn::core-main)
all with the same results. I have posted the binary compiled on my system in
http://redlinernotes.com/docs/ecl-bug/ and am unsure how to get a backtrace
of what's going on. I do have a systrace however in the directory listed
above. Can anyone help me?

Thanks very much,
Brit Butler
