I'm trying to install PLOB! on Windows 2000 with Lispworks 4.2.
I've followed the installation procedure and after config, I changed
the value of the local installation directory,
(defconstant +plob-dir+ "c:\plob-2.09"
#+:lisp-doc "\\plob\\ installation directory.")
in defsystem-plob.lisp.
But whenever I compile, the directory string is doubled.
Error: The file #P"C:/plob-2.09/src/allegro/plob-2.09/src/allegro/plob-defpackage.lisp"
does not exist.
1 (continue) Try opening
#P"C:/plob-2.09/src/allegro/plob-2.09/src/allegro/plob-defpackage.lisp"
again.
2 Try compiling C:\plob-2.09\src\allegro\plob-2.09\src\allegro\plob-defpackage.lisp
again.
3 Skip compiling C:\plob-2.09\src\allegro\plob-2.09\src\allegro\plob-defpackage.lisp.
4 Try doing compile for system :PLOB again.
5 (abort) Return to level 0.
6 Return to top loop level 0.
I wondered whether there was a quick way to get around this. Since
it's an installation procedure - I'm not sure how much I should
change.(I have to admit that PLOB! is the largest lisp program that
I've looked at).
And one more question, I read this article on google
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=save-object&start=30&hl=en&selm=61otpq%24oa%40crl10.crl.com&rnum=31
(ok, hope that link turns out okay, if not search for save-object and
Kerry Koitzsch on 1997/10/11)
It mentions a new version of save-object. Do you know where I can get
the modern version - the one at Mark Kantrowitz's repository is from
1993?
Ok, thanks in advance for any help,
g

I haven't read the rest of the discussion thoroughly, but shouldn't
the above be:
(defconstant +plob-dir+ "c:\\plob-2.09"
#+:lisp-doc "\\plob\\ installation directory.")
since CL (like ANSI C) uses \ as an escape character in strings.
Regs, Pierre.
