RE: [Axiom-developer] AxiomUI code update

[Page, Bill]

Kai,

In your axiomui/README file you wrote:

So I thought I would give it a try. First I installed
clisp-2.34 in a directory path with no spaces c:\clisp-2.34.
I added c:\clisp-2.34 to the executables PATH and made sure
that I could run in from the MSDOS command line.

I extracted your
 http://kaikaminski.gmxhome.de/axiomui-17-08-05.tgz
to c:\axiomui. Then I modified the run.sh to the following
run.bat file:

  set AXIOMUI_STATIC_PAGES="C:\axiomui\static-pages"
  clisp -norc -i run.lisp

------

Typing 'run' produced the following result:

C:\axiomui>run

C:\axiomui>set AXIOMUI_STATIC_PAGES="C:\axiomui\static-pages"

C:\axiomui>clisp -norc -i run.lisp
  i i i i i i i       ooooo    o        ooooooo   ooooo   ooooo
  I I I I I I I      8     8   8           8     8     o  8    8
  I  \ `+' /  I      8         8           8     8        8    8
   \  `-+-'  /       8         8           8      ooooo   8oooo
    `-__|__-'        8         8           8           8  8
        |            8     o   8           8     o     8  8
  ------+------       ooooo    8oooooo  ooo8ooo   ooooo   8

There seems to be something a little non-portable involving
paths and/or component names in Windows vs. Linux.

In run.lisp you wrote:

  (push #P"." asdf:*central-registry*)

Perhaps you need something involving (truename ".")
which returns a real Windows path?

But I don't know enough about clisp on Windows to really
Suggest what might be going wrong here.

Thanks for your hard work!
