|Paul,
|
|I understand you're running CL-HTTP under CMU CL on Linux, which is
|exactly what I'd like to do! I've installed CMU CL with clm, clx, hemlock,
|etc. and downloaded the CL-HTTP source, but I'm having trouble getting the
|server started. Unfortunately LISP is one of my weaker languages;
|however, I'd like to use it to develop some list-based web applications
|and I believe CMU-CL-HTTP is the best way to proceed. I'd apprectiate any
|help you may offer.
|
|Thanks!

Uh, well not exactly correct here. I run FreeBSD, not Linux,
(not that it matters much here). I have never gotten CL-HTTP
really running. I had managed to hack on it enough to get it
to compile under CMUCL and even start to work. BUT there is
a long way to go. There is a set of implementation dependent
things that need to be done. For instance, the low level codes
to interface to tcp/ip. I think it is possible to pull it off
but I just don't have the time or need to persue it.
CL-HTTP is a *huge* system and there are implementation dependent
conditionals hidden in various places, the lack of one
(eg no #+CMU along with the #+ACL #+MCL etc) cause strange
compile errors. There is also the misuse of the values declaration
throughout which causes Python problems. I've got a bunch of other
traps written down somewhere - haven't looked at it in months.
Paul
