I have successfully<br>
compiled the ASDF package defining the library into a libelf.a library<br>
using the following command.<br>
<br>
(asdf:make-build :elf :type :lib :move-here "/home/eschulte/src/elf/")<br>
<br>
While this seems to have been successful, and while I have been able to<br>
manipulate generic ECL lisp objects from within C code, I can not figure<br>
out how to access the lisp functions defined in this static library from<br>
a file of C code.<br></blockquote><div><br>You are still missing a crucial step: building your library into a program. This is the reason why MAKE-BUILD has another target, :type :program, which does the missing steps: linking C and Lisp code together.<br>

My latest attempt is the following run.c file.<br></blockquote><div><br>File is missing all the steps that MAKE-BUILD takes to initialize the library. There is a reason why MAKE-BUILD and C:BUILDER exist: to hide this interface from you because it is very ugly and prone to change -- if you read my other email today, those changes are related to this interface (loading libraries and initializing their data).<br>
<br>I now realize C:BUILDER and C:MAKE-BUILD might need another target, something like :standalone-lib or :standalone-dll, where one would simply specify the name of the library and its initialization function and it would do the rest. I will note it down.<br>
