| Xach | Riastradh: symlinks don't work on windows. |
| _3b | Xach: they do in clisp |
| Xach | ah, cool. |
| nyef | Xach: -Some- systems treat windows shortcuts (.lnk files) as symlinks. |
| Xach | lispbox on windows uses a nifty scheme to work around the issue. |
| nyef | At some point this may include SBCL, or the version of ASDF included as an SBCL contrib. |
| eriatarka | ok it seemed to work :o however component :FLEXI-STREAM not found asdf missing dependency apparently |
| Riastradh | You need the `flexi-stream' system, then. |
| nyef | ... Isn't that supposed to be plural, or am I misremembering? |
| eriatarka | oh yeah, its plural |
| _3b | eriatarka: was the 'it seemed to work' with my suggestion or Riastradh's (or both)? |
| eriatarka | wait dont i need asdf to install flexistreams? _3B - with yours er, with Riastradh even #P"D:\\" oh sorry im being stupid again, its cl-irc that requires flexi-streams, i thought asdf needed it to work in general, i'll go get it now |
| _3b | eriatarka: if debian's dependencies are accurate, you will probably also need trivial-gray-streams and split-sequence |
| eriatarka | yeah i just done trivial-gray-stream too i need usocket as well apparently yeah split-sequence too |
| Xach | asdf-install is helpful for dependency-rich stuff |
| _3b | is there an easy way to get asdsf-install working on win32 yet? |
| eriatarka | it worked!!!! thanks a lot for the patience |
| Cin | ehem. NTFS supports hard links and "junctions" AKA soft links I use a tool that integrates with Explorer to do it called NTFSLink |
| eriatarka | ok, im still getting a 'file does not exist' when i do (require :cl-irc) :/ |
| Cin | FWIW |
| _3b | eriatarka: load it with asdf, not require |
| eriatarka | oh is that it loaded now? |
| nyef | Cin: Some win32 systems still use FAT, do junctions even work across disks? |
| eriatarka | ah ok see what you mean |
| Cin | nyef, I've never had two hard drives to try it |
| nyef | Cin: Tried it with a CDROM? Or doesn't it work with Joliet/iso9660? |
| Cin | ho ho ho, I have not |
| nyef | How about a USB stick? Oh, wait, those are usually FAT, aren't they? |
