[elephant-devel] Re: Elephant 0.2

[Ben]

the relevant files are in

http://common-lisp.net/project/elephant/win32/

create a DLL project / solution.  add the two files (one is a modified
libsleepycat.c, the other a .def file for dll export.)  point the
project / solution at the berkeley db headers.  tell the project to
link with libdb42.lib (should be in the releases dir.)  build.

if that works, now point sleepycat.lisp at the appropriate files (you
may only need the libsleepycat.dll since we statically linked vs
libdb42.lib.)

thanks for the help and take care, B
