Re: Couldn't install LISPBUILDER-SDL

I would use Quicklisp, which is now the defacto way of downloading Lisp libraries. So delete (or rename) your .sbclrc (you wouldn't want to keep using the old version by accident), and follow the instructions at:

http://www.quicklisp.org/beta/

Once you finish installing Quicklisp, then you can try:

(ql:quickload :lispbuilder-sdl-examples)

(sdl-examples:mandelbrot)

You'll still need to install the C libraries for SDL (SDL.dll, etc.). Those files are available from:

http://code.google.com/p/lispbuilder/downloads/detail?name=win32-lispbuilder-sdl-binaries-1.2.14.tgz

or
http://www.libsdl.org/

And you can put them either in the working directory where you're trying to run SBCL or in some sort of central place where the dll loader can find them.

Hope that helps.

Hi, Elliotts:

      

      Thanks for your projest about lispbuilder-sdl.

       

      I am a newbie about emacs and SBCL. Follow your instructions, I download  the necessary files (CFFI, ALEXANDRIA, BABEL, TRIVIAL-FEATURES, and lispbuilder-sdl-0.9.8.1.tgz),

   This is my sbclrc file:

***************************************************************************

(require :asdf)

(dolist (dir (directory "c:/emacs/sbcl/"))

(pushnew dir asdf:*central-registry* :test #'equal))

***************************************************************************

After loading slime, I load LISPBUILDER-SDL,((asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :lispbuilder-sdl))

Something error happened: 

***************************************************************************

 caught ERROR:

;   (during macroexpansion of (DEFINE-UCS :UCS-2LE ...))

;   #:~A-CODE-POINT-COUNTER fell through ETYPECASE expression.

;   Wanted one of (STRING SIMPLE-STRING).

   I don't know why. Waiting for your help.

  Thanks!
