[Ecls-list] Cannot set compiler flags for compile-file

Fri Jan 15 02:16:42 UTC 2010

Hi folks,

Firstly, I understand that I am messing with unpublished API, and
deserve all the trouble I got :) But if anyone has any tips on going
forward in the direction I'm stumbled into, please provide some
guidance.

I am having trouble on my (slightly funny and older) ECL trying to get
compile-file (fiddling with the compiler flags) to work.

Here's an example file:

(print "Hello")
(terpri)
;; (quit)

Here's me trying to compile the example file. I've kept the
intermediate .c, .h and data files just to confirm that they exist.

CL-USER> (trace compile-file)
(COMPILE-FILE)
CL-USER> (compile-file "/arpa/tz/t/tyc20/lisp/ecl-hello/hello.lisp"
:c-file t :h-file t :data-file t)
1> (COMPILE-FILE "/arpa/tz/t/tyc20/lisp/ecl-hello/hello.lisp" :C-FILE
T :H-FILE T :DATA-FILE T)

What seems to be going wrong, is that some compiler flags/options
don't seem to reflect what I needed, even though I think I have them
set to the right values. Here's how I've set them up:

(setf c::*ecl-include-directory* #P"/arpa/tz/t/tyc20/lisp/imp/ecl/include/")
(setf c::*ecl-library-directory* #P"/arpa/tz/t/tyc20/lisp/imp/ecl/lib")
(setf c::*ld-flags* "-L/arpa/tz/t/tyc20/lisp/imp/ecl/lib
-Wl,-R/arpa/tz/t/tyc20/lisp/imp/ecl/lib -lecl -lm -lgc -lgmp")
(setf c::*ld-shared-flags* "-shared
-L/arpa/tz/t/tyc20/lisp/imp/ecl/lib
-Wl,-R/arpa/tz/t/tyc20/lisp/imp/ecl/lib -lecl -lm -lgc -lgmp")

It feels to me like some of those flags cannot be changed (hard coded
in some way). I also think some functions have been inlined because I
couldn't trace them (eg C::SHARED-CC, C::BUNDLE-EXTRA-FLAGS, or
C::BUNDLE-CC), with the exception of COMPILE-FILE as seen above.

Not sure what other information I can provide to help, but here's how
I run ECL. I initially got my the ECL binary from

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/alpha/4.0/lang/ecl%2d8.12.0.tgz

I don't know the configure options. The binary has not been installed
using pkgsrc or what not, and sits as is in my ~/lisp/imp/ecl
directory. I don't know how all that packaging stuff works, and
probably don't have the right permissions anyway. For completeness, I
have tried to show as much as possible below, but I'm not sure what is
useful, so if there is any other information I can help with, do ask.

How I run ECL:

export ECL_PATH=/arpa/tz/t/tyc20/lisp/imp/ecl

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ECL_PATH/lib $ECL_PATH/bin/ecl -dir
$ECL_PATH/lib/ecl-8.12.0/ -eval '(progn (load
"/arpa/tz/t/tyc20/lisp/libs/slime/swank-loader.lisp") (funcall (intern
"INIT" :swank-loader)))'

The libgc.so, libgmp.so, and libm.so links were added by me, and point
to libraries I downloaded manually. Yes, this is all very painful :)

Here's another funny thing I just noticed:

After the appropriate setf to *ecl-library-directory*:

CL-USER> c::*ecl-library-directory*
#P"/arpa/tz/t/tyc20/lisp/imp/ecl/lib"
CL-USER> (compile-file "/arpa/tz/t/tyc20/lisp/ecl-hello/hello.lisp"
:c-file t :h-file t :\
data-file t)

...snipped...

;;;   cc -o "/arpa/tz/t/tyc20/lisp/ecl-hello/hello.fas"
-L"/arpa/tz/t/tyc20/lisp/imp/ecl/lib/ecl-8.12.0/"

-lgc -lgmp

...snipped...

CL-USER> c::*ecl-library-directory*
"/arpa/tz/t/tyc20/lisp/imp/ecl/lib/ecl-8.12.0/"

The library directory is only initialisable at startup time with the -dir from
the looks of it.

It looks like my problems might be related to the issue faced by Andy
Hefner in his 2010-01-07 email. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
