[xcvb-devel] Installation problem

[szergling]

Hi all,

I've just tried to install xcvb to try it out using the following
(apologies for the inadvertent line wrap, if any):

tyc20 at binks:~/hda/code/lisp/libs/xcvb-0.349$ make install-using-asdf
PREFIX=/home/tyc20/hda/code/lisp/libs/xcvb-0.349-install

./dependencies/cl-launch/cl-launch.sh \
                -l /home/tyc20/hda/sbcl/sbcl-1.0.15-x86-linux/src/runtime/sbcl \
                -I

                -B install

make: *** [install-cl-launch] Error 1

In that install folder, this is all there is so far:

tyc20 at binks:~/hda/code/lisp/libs/xcvb-0.349$ ls -aR
/home/tyc20/hda/code/lisp/libs/xcvb-0.349-install/

Either I've done something real dumb, or there's a bug somewhere...

I get a similar sort of problem if I tried 'make install' instead.

All these options and gazillion Unix languages are quite overwhelming
to me. Any chance of success if I just do this?

(mapc (lambda (x) (load (compile-file (append-path x))))
      '("driver" "pkgdcl" "macros" ...))

Could be automated somewhat by direct extraction of the form in
xcvb.asd.

While I'm here, does xcvb even support plain ol' Lisp style REPL and
system construction 'within 1 image'? If you can do distributed
multiple images, surely we can also do it all within the same image?
99% of use case today is like that.

Cheers everyone.
