Re: Status of uw-prism packaging for Debian
Hi Andreas,
Thanks for your continued interest. I actually have some time and
energy to work on this now. Building an executable from source in
Common Lisp is very different from C or other compiled-only languages.
"Make" is not applicable. It will have Lisp implementation
dependencies, so the build for CMUCL will be different from CLISP and
they will yet be different from ACL. Truth is that right now I only
know how to build an executable in ACL but will look into the others. I
will also need to know what the structure of a Debian package is. I
have an old book, "The Debian System", that should help as an orientation.
Is there a quick tutorial on the Debian packaging mechanism to help me
get started? Might be quicker than reading the book.
Best regards,
Ira

Hi Ira,
some time passed by since we discussed about a Debian package of your
Prism software. As far as I know the last action was to create some
initial Debian packaging here
http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-med/trunk/packages/uw-prism/
but this does not create a sensible package (the Build process creates
just warning but no executable). Since we do not have any Lisp experts
in the Debian Med team we would need your help to finalise the package.
We could definitely provide help in the Debian packaging mechanism to
enable you to reproduce the current build problem.
Kind regards
Andreas.
