I've been trying to test out CL-GD with CLISP 2.35 on Windows XP within
Emacs (*inferior-lisp*)
This is my first attempt with anything ASDF related.
I notice that the .asd for cl-gd has unqualified names for the required
.lisp files so it must have to do the equivalent of 'cd' or set a search
directory for source before this can work. I also notice that the .asd
does something with *load-truename* so I have modified *load-truename*
(and many other vars within the ext package and in ASDF:: and in
CL-GD.SYSTEM:: but no matter what I try I still keep getting the error
that the operation is loading from my home directory (cygwin).
[405]> (setf *load-truename* #P"C:\\DVP\\cl-gd-0.4.8\\")
#P"C:\\DVP\\cl-gd-0.4.8\\"
[406]> (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :cl-gd)
*** - OPEN: file #P"C:\\cygwin\\home\\richard\\packages.lisp" does not exist
The following restarts are available:

Any suggestions on what I need to do to set this up?

If the names are unqualified they are assumed to be meant relative to
the location of the system definition, i.e. the ASD file.
Here's a short explanation of what ASDF does, maybe it helps:
<http://weitz.de/asdf-install/>
> I also notice that the .asd does something with *load-truename*
This is unrelated to ASDF and only used to find the shared C library
cl-gd-glue.

It doesn't make much sense to modify it:

Maybe some of the information above helps. I'm not sure if CL-GD
works with CLISP/Cygwin at all, though.
Cheers,

I'd suggest that you try with a library that doesn't have external
dependencies first. CL-GD relies on UFFI, the GD library and a shared
"glue" library so it'll be a lot harder to track down what's
happening.

Have /you/ set it to #P"C:"? On my CLISP (2.35 on Cygwin) it's #P"".

Given your value for *DEFAULT-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS* this is correct.
What does that have to do with ASDF?

Dunno. ASDF works for me with CLISP/Cygwin.
This what I have in my ~/.clisprc.lisp file:
(in-package :cl-user)
#-:asdf
(load "c:/home/lisp/asdf")
#+:asdf
(dolist (dir-candidate (directory "c:/home/lisp/*/"))
(when (ignore-errors (ext:probe-directory dir-candidate))
(let ((asd-candidate (merge-pathnames "*.asd" dir-candidate)))
(when (directory asd-candidate)
(push dir-candidate asdf:*central-registry*)))))
I have all of my libraries below "c:/home/lisp/". Loading simple libs
that don't rely on UFFI works fine:

I put that into my .clisprc.lisp file and things are much better. Now
the only problem is the FFI rather than UFFI and the .dll rather than
the .so. Looking through special.lisp it seems it should look for both
rather than just the ".so" Maybe I take the .so out of the list so it
just looks for .dll?

As I said - I don't expect CL-GD to work with CLISP, at least not out
of the box. You might want to check out Carlos Ungil's version which
was specificially written for CLISP - see the link from the CL-GD
website.
Cheers,
Edi.

I do have the .dll from the Carlos Ungil's version and I replaced all
the original CL-GD files with the modified ones from Carlso as well. All
seems well except for the loading of the .dll. I wonder if the FFI
interface from CLISP has changed and the source for the glue file needs
to be recompiled.

I don't distribute any dll, do I? Anyway, I got it working (at least it
passes some tests) as follows (I'm writing this from memory, so there
could be errors):
--- .clisprc.lisp ---
(in-package :cl-user)

FWIW, Luis Oliveira has just sent patches to make CL-GD work with
CLISP/CFFI. If you're interested in this, download the latest version
(0.5.0), play with it, and report your results to the mailing list.
Make sure to read these messages about potential problems first:

I think this is due to the DLL not understanding Cygwin's pathnames
(which start with something like "/cygdrive/c/"). Most likely you'll
have to build a Cygwin version of GD and the other supporting
libraries.

Edi.
