RDNZL and :UNICODE on the LWM

I am trying to compile Edi Weitz's RDNZL on LWM to try it out with Mono.

Unfortunately I get the following errors, which I do not quite understand.

More of the same later on.

I think this came up before, but I thought it easier to ask again.

Re: RDNZL and :UNICODE on the LWM

Hi Marco,

There's a mailing list for RDNZL.  However, the library has so far
only been used on Windows with .NET.  I'm not aware of anybody using
it with Mono or anything else.

Cheers,
Edi.

The C/C++ support code in RDNZL is heavily geared towards Microsoft's
compiler because it needs certain special features which are not in
ANSI C.  For the same reason, the FLI code wasn't written to be
OS-agnostic.  It'd be nice if RDNZL would work with Mono and/or on the
Mac, but I suppose that'll be quite a bit of work.

Ugh, right.  I should have remembered as I wrote this myself... :)

Thanks,
Edi.

:UNICODE seems to be used as an alternative way of specifying at least
the UCS-2 encoding.

>From the LispWorks User Guide and Reference Manual:
http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw60/LW/html/lw-465.htm#pgfId-892436
:unicode
  The UCS-2 encoding of Unicode. The parameter :little-endian defaults
  to the endianness of the platform.

Also, in the FLEXI-STREAMS documentation:
http://weitz.de/flexi-streams/#external-formats
"A couple of alternative names are allowed that are listed below: 
....
:UTF-16  -   :UTF16 :UCS-2 :UCS2 :UNICODE
...."
