[Gsll-devel] Build error (fsbv)

[Zach]

Jason,

Looks like it can't find ffi.h.  I suppose that you should be able to point
it to the correct location by changing the the form in the asd file from

(cffi-grovel:grovel-file "libffi" :pathname #+unix "libffi-unix")

to

(cffi-grovel:grovel-file "libffi" :pathname #+unix "libffi-unix" :cc-flags
"-I/path/to/ffi/headers")

I know this since I have for a long time had to do this for any system that
uses cffi-grovel, since I often have libraries in only somewhat standard
places under OS X.  Since you are using common-lisp-controller, that means
you are using a Linux, right?  If so, this should really work out of the box
for you.  Whether the shortcoming is with FSBV or CFFI-GROVEL, I don't know
(for instance, it would be nice if CFFI-GROVEL took a default cc-flags from
the CFLAGS environment variable or something).

Hope this helps,
Zach
