don't add any more symbols to cl-symbols.lisp-expr, that's a list of all symbols exported by the COMMON-LISP package and is is defined by the CL standard

Oh, I have a question for you. I'm still working on a split-sequence function. I was wondering if you have an alternative already made and if not, how I can make the function external in your system?
22:30:29

That's probably to best solution. I wasn't sure what your status was on adding libraries, but if you're fine, I'll do it.
22:31:22
froggey
it should just be a case of adding it as a submodule in mbuild and requiring it in ipl.lisp

if there was not library, then for something like split-sequence I'd probably just dump it in the sys.int package and not bother exporting it... there isn't really any package exporting miscellaneous useful functions
22:42:01
froggey
if it was a group of functions/symbols doing some coherent thing then I'd define a new package & export through there

I found an implementation on Github. I’ve written it into .gitmodules. You said to include it in ipl.lisp?
22:47:20
froggey
there should be a bunch of require forms in ipl.lisp around line 100, add a new one after them

Of course, Virtualbox makes the whole thing slightly more tedious by keeping track of file UUIDs.

VBoxManage convertfromraw takes a --uuid option. I didn't include it in the Makefile because I though it might cause trouble if everyone produced disk images with the same uuid

Eh, it’s an easy workaround. I don’t care enough to add that, seeing as I do believe that could be weird.

So, I’ve added everything everywhere and my code in irc.lisp is commented out to make sure it’s not that, but I crash before I reach the desktop. The only result number option given is 0: retry allocation, but there’s an immovable window over that window so I can’t execute it… this happened before and rebuilding fixed it, but it didn’t this time. Suggestions?
