CL-PDF on ACL 9.0 - using Quicklisp works

[Martin Mallinson]

Ah - success! I could not get asdf to work - see note below since it may
be helpful to understand why - but quicklist just worked ... (thanks for
the tip Nick)

Hi Martin,

Are you delivering a runtime with cl-pdf? If so, note the
initialization stuff in zzinit.lisp for the afm directories.

I actually added that file, to improve flexibility for runtime delivery (as
it was, it assumed you were always loading from fasls and the default afm
directory was in a certain place relative to the fasls).

If the zzinit stuff isn't clear, give me a shout.

My Best,

Dave

asdf needs to be told where your software is when that software isn't
at one of the standard places (which include ~/common-lisp/ in its
asdf 3.1 and later, but not in earlier versions of asdf;
~/.local/share/common-lisp/source/ is in all versions since asdf 2.0).
See the manual for how to configure your source-registry.

Note that while the central registry is still supported,
it is actively disrecommended to use the ASDF 1 style:
(setf asdf:*central-registry* '(*default-pathname-defaults*))
This defeats the desired reproducibility of locating source code.

Instead, try e.g. to have your
~/config/common-lisp/source-registry.conf as follows:
(:source-registry
(:tree (:home "some/subdirectory/"))
:inherit-configuration)

Because you need a degree in astrophysics to do anything non-trivial
with ASDF?

- but quicklist just worked ...

Indeed it does. (Note: QuickLisp with a #\p.)
