<div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I think that you should not call quickload in the package file.

<pre class="moz-quote-pre">I've written a small replacement for i3status with common lisp and want to use ecl to make a binary so when i3wm loads, it just loads the cl-i3status binary. I've looked at the ecl documentation online and it suggests doing something like this:

<pre class="moz-quote-pre">this error message seems to suggest that you use a system "str" without declaring it in dependencies. In your
project file my-project.asd add
(defsystem "my-project"
...
:depends-on (... "str")
...)
depending on what you want from your project you may not need (require 'asdf) in the prologue code. Also you
may consider passing :monolithic t flag to make-build.
Make sure that you study well-commented example in ecl source repository under examples/asdf_with_dependence/.
Last but not least make sure that you use the latest release (currently it is 21.2.1) or a build from the branch
"develop" if you are not afraid of cutting your self on the bleeding edge ;).
If none of these advises helps then please try to minimize the test case to the minimum (basically an asd system
with a singly stub file and all dependencies you need) and make an issue ticket on gitlab
<a href="https://gitlab.com/embeddable-common-lisp/ecl/-/issues" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://gitlab.com/embeddable-common-lisp/ecl/-/issues</a>
mind that such action requires registration on the gitlab platform.
