Please help!
Has anyone successfully used the KCL to C interface?
I want to call a C program from kcl.

I read the KCL report, but still have difficulty.
When I try
   (compile-file "ta.lsp")
I get output file ta.o, but then I get:

% cc ta.o
ld: Undefined symbol
   _main
   _vs_overflow
   _do_init
   _print

Any help, especially a working example, much appreciated!

Sincerely,

Steve Sullivan

It doesn't work that way around.  Instead of linking with the C linker
(ld), you have to load the C into Lisp with load or si:faslink.
