[Ecls-list] Example about building / loading ECL libraries

[Dietrich Bollmann]

Hi Juanjo,

Sorry for being unclear!

The example sources in embed-windows.tar from the email

  - Re: [Ecls-list] Example about building / loading ECL libraries
    http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=30912414

(see 'embed-windows.tar',
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/attachment.php?list_name=ecls-list&message_id=CAMCvb%3DAZ4XtzpQ3kwc7qhjctNXTc5bhqWP0s4-cHVnhxXKf6AQ%40mail.gmail.com&counter=2)

show how to compile the files hello-lisp.asd and hello-lisp.lisp on Windows
into the static library hello-lisp.lib which than is used to build
hello.exe from hello.c.

the line

ecl -norc -load compile.lisp

in the Makefile is responsible for building the static library based on the
lisp build file compile.lisp:

=== compile.lisp ===
(ext:install-c-compiler)
(require :asdf)
(push "./" asdf:*central-registry*)
(asdf:make-build :hello-lisp :type :static-library :move-here "./")
(quit)
===

So my fist and probably naive attempt to build a shared library was to
change ':type :static-library' to ':type :shared-library' resulting in the
following file:

=== compile.lisp ===
(ext:install-c-compiler)
(require :asdf)
(push "./" asdf:*central-registry*)
(asdf:make-build :hello-lisp :type :shared-library :move-here "./")
(quit)
===

But unfortunately nothing happens when trying to use this file to build a
shared library:

$ ls -la

So now I wonder what I have to do in order to build a shared library...

One approach would be to change the Makefile and / or the compile.lisp
file, but I am not sure how;

another one might be to compile the lisp files to .h, .c, .data files first
and build a shared library "by hand" using 'cl' and 'link'.

Which approach would be the better one?

Or is there some better way to solve this problem?

Thanks again,

Dietrich
