CCL Save-Application, Clisp Saveinitmem, Issues

Question

On ccl on mac os x 10.9 i am having a problem cretaing executables.

(save-application "/full/path/to/saved-app" :prepend-kernel t) double clicking the produced executable file enters on terminal showing very long errors starting with a one like error: problems loadiing bundle:can't determine class name and ending with the kernel debugger options.

On ccl on windows i simply define a function and do the same above to save executable, later i can double click the output file it runs and remembers my defined function, ccl on mac dont remember also when i save image and load it to kernel manually.

on the clisp side, it creates executable on my mac, and on some widows installations it creates executable but i cannot launch executable, it gives an error prompt window saying something like

application failed to start because libreadline6.dll not found. restarting application may solve the problem

but don't.

What are the problems here, any solutions?

Answer 1

The message says that the DLL cannot be found. So, unless the OS is lying to us (which I wouldn't put past it, alas) the solution is

1. locate libreadline6.dll
2. add that directory to PATH or move/copy/link libreadline6.dll to a directory which is in PATH
3. or run your new image with an augmented PATH (either by creating an application shortcut or by running from the command line PATH=/path/to/libreadline6.dll:$PATH /my/new/lisp/image)
