Defsystem was the predecessor to ASDF.

For GTK there's also GTK-server which is pretty easy to get started with, although it won't be very Lispy. It doesn't need an FFI and it is cross-platform. It does have its limitations which are hard to work around but for simple interfaces it should be enough. I was able to hack this together almos...

Thanks for the extensive answers and suggestions so far. In case this helps the discussion the libraries I'm writing / have written wrappers for are: Ogre3D , Bullet and OIS . (on that note: if you're a CL programmer looking for interesting projects, a native collision / physics library and a native...

I am a couple of weeks away from releasing the first versions of three Common Lisp packages which all three provide an interface to a foreign library (a 3D engine, a physics engine and an input library). Since I do not really know much about licenses my initial thought was to release them under the ...

Alright, figured out what went wrong. I forgot to downcase the keywords during a comparison so instead of getting filtered out they did indeed get evaluated at a later moment. I was totally focussing on the wrong part of the macro when trying to find the problem. I hereby present Iffy!: (defmacro if...

I have never seen the word "bareword" used before and am fairly certain that it has no Lisp-specific meaning, so what do you mean exactly? Basically "not a keyword". I tried to explain that with my two code examples. You seem to be missing a point of macros. No, I don't :) I jus...

If been trying to figure something out and neither Google has been much help nor did looking at the source for the iterate package help me. It only made me more confused. So I hope there's a simple answer to this: how does one use a bareword in a macro? An iterate form for example looks like this: (...

This is a quote from the mudballs site:

Mudballs primary purpose is not System Definition but Repeatable System Distribution.

So it is not just a replacement for ASDF.

I wouldn't mind donating some money to this cause.

Like others have said, this should just work.

Iterate is my primary looping construct. I love it. It's clear, lispy and I rarely have to check to manual to use it (very important! )
