[elephant-devel] Elephant 0.5.0 is released under the LLGPL

[Ian Eslick]

Did you not get my earlier e-mail about adding #+(or macosx darwin) to sleepycat.lisp in place of #+macosx?  That will fix it for MCL.  

We also need to do something about user system-specific dependencies.  Folks should not have to modify sources to get things personalized to their system.  One option is to use asdf-config as an option which was designed to allow user config of params without requiring source modification...

In sleepycat.lisp there's a #+macosx and #-macosx around the form assigned to *c-library-extension* which is used to figure out which library type to load (dylib or so). If you modify this to #+(or macosx darwin) that should fix it. I'll look around for other macosx only reader conditionals I stuck in there. Under Allegro they use macosx and not darwin. Does OpenMCL require dylibs or so's?
