[mel-base-devel] Mel-Base compile failure on newer SBCL

[Rayservers]

I just tried out the ASDF load of mel-base and got the failure that was reported
earlier on
http://osdir.com/ml/mel-base-devel/2009-06/msg00003.html

A fix is reported here...

http://www.rayservers.com/blog/mel-base-compile-fails-on-symbol-unix-file-kind-not-found-in-the-sb-unix-package
for google and as a courtesy to this list:

Fix per http://www.mail-archive.com/stumpwm-devel@nongnu.org/msg01554.html
in file  clbuild/source/mel-base/lisp-dep/utils.lisp

around line 102 for SBCL, change to:

   #+sbcl (eq :directory (apply (or (find-symbol "NATIVE-FILE-KIND" :sb-impl)
                                   (find-symbol "UNIX-FILE-KIND" :sb-unix))
                               (list (namestring x))))

I have yet to use mel-base, at least it compiles now.

Cheers,
