Problem with installation of open-gl in lisp

Using SBCL 2.0.3 the following script

#!/usr/local/bin/sbcl --script
(load "~/quicklisp/setup.lisp")                                                             
(ql:quickload :cffi)                                                                                                                                                 
(ql:quickload :cl-opengl) ; from github repo:3b/cl-opengl

leads to error:

As I understand there is inconsistency of cffi and opengl packages. M-x package-delete does not show any cffi package.

If I comment (ql:quickload :cffi) nothing changes.

Any ideas?

I could install sdl2 examples, it works, but I would like to have pure opengl. May be there are modern setups? It will be enough..

Solution

  • I can load the current version of cl-opengl into SBCL 2.47 using Quicklisp for all the other dependencies (so, in particular CFFI is whatever Quicklisp has today).

    The only thing I can see that would explain this is if you're using a very old version of CFFI. ptrdiff arrived in this commit in October 2020, so if whatever you have is older than that you might have trouble.
