[Ecls-list] calling ECL functions defined in an ASDF package from C code

[Eric Schulte]

Hi,

I've written a library for reading/manipulating/writing elf files [1]
which I would like to be able to call from C code.  I have successfully
compiled the ASDF package defining the library into a libelf.a library
using the following command.

  (asdf:make-build :elf :type :lib :move-here "/home/eschulte/src/elf/")

While this seems to have been successful, and while I have been able to
manipulate generic ECL lisp objects from within C code, I can not figure
out how to access the lisp functions defined in this static library from
a file of C code.

My latest attempt is the following run.c file.

I can compile this file with the following

  $ gcc -o run run.c -L. -lelf -lecl

however upon execution I get the following output in which the elf
package does not seem to be present.

,----
| READ-ELF 
| Condition of type: UNDEFINED-FUNCTION
| The function ELF::READ-ELF is undefined.
| 
| No restarts available.
| 
| Top level.

Ideally I'd like to be able to call the lisp functions defined in the
elf package as C functions directly in C, however I have no idea what
their names are, or how to access them from the world of C.

And advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks -- Eric
