bulding hsbcl on debian 11

[Ralf Hemmecke]

Dear Waldek,

I seem to have problems building hsbcl with the script you provided.
I saw no problem on Ubuntu 22.04, though.
Can you help?

The last line of the compilation are given below.

Thank you
Ralf

Well, it build for me on Debian 11 both using Debian-provided sbcl-2.1.1
and compiled from sources sbcl-2.3.5. I had problem on old Gentoo,
because Gentoo provided ASDF configured in a way which was
incompatible with hsbcl. My solution on Gentoo was to use
sbcl-1.4.6 build from sources and remove system installed sbcl
startup file. On Debian, system startup file is '/etc/sbclrc', I
would look here for possible source of incompatibilities. And
of course personal startup files. Maybe add '--no-init' option
to sbcl command line.

Indeed. I have another debian machine where your scripts work just fine.
/etc/sbclrc contains only comments.

I investigated a little. The difference seems to be that on the failing
machine there is cl-hunchentoot installed as a debian package. I cannot
remove it since I have not superuser rights on that machine.

cl-asdf is installed on both machines in the same version.

Comparing the log output shows that the failing machine compiles

; compiling file
"/usr/share/common-lisp/source/cl-trivial-gray-streams/package.lisp"
(written 31 JUL 2020 10:41:20 PM):
; processing (IN-PACKAGE :CL-USER)

whereas the non-failing does not. Hmmmm...

Maybe no need to investigate further. I will try to create an
environment to create hsbcl via quicklisp.

If you have cl-hunchentoot you could try replacing 'la.lisp' by

(require "HUNCHENTOOT")
(require "SB-POSIX")
(require "SB-SPROF")
(sb-ext::save-lisp-and-die "../hsbcl" :executable t)

Earlier part is to make sure that hunchentoot is available, but
if is intalled, then just 'require' should be enough.

Does not work as such. I had to prepend

(require "asdf")

Then it works.

Thank you
Ralf
