Hi, I'm using free version (personaledition) on Windows. I'm having trouble figuring out form documentation, how to setup a multi-package system. Say i make a 'hw.lisp' which defines a package 'hw' What setting in lispwork i need to to, so that a (use-package 'hw) can locate hw.lisp in my directory ? TIA -- !!\/\/ http://notnotVV.blogspot.com

You asked the same question on comp.lang.lisp and it has already been answered there. Please note my posting (copied at the end of this email) where I explained that you're confusing "packages" and "systems". Edi.

I said this many times before, but I think it's worth repeating: Most newbies (including you, I'm sure) say "package" when they mean something else. We usually say "system" or something like that for a set of files that belong together and comprise a program or library. A "package" is a defined term for a first-class object in the language: http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/11_.htm Maybe you should read a good introductory book: http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/ > I'm wading through documentation, however a kickstart will be > appreciated (-: Have you looked at this? http://weitz.de/starter-pack/ http://weitz.de/starter-pack/#own HTH, Edi.
You cannot do that. CL is more like C/C++ in this respect than Java or other systems. The way to proceed is to set up a "system" specification in order to make sure that files are loaded and compiled in the proper order. You can use LW native DEFSYSTEM, or the free MK:DEFSYSTEM or ASDF to this end.
