Yes, defun is inside EVAL-WHEN :compile-toplevel. Shouldn’t it be?

I’m on SBCL 1.0.35 on Mac 10.6.2 trying to get the newest version of cl-mpi (0.2.3) to work with mpich2 (1.2.1).

I really like your wrinkle work there. Awesome. Yes, I had planned on making the texture optional. I will add that… and, I may add your wrinkle effect as an option, too.

Patrick,

I left a comment on the Registry about the script. Basically (I’m not a coder, btw) it would be cool if we could opt to add a different texture or choose to not have a texture at all. For instance, check out my “pirate map” here: http://www.mahvin.com/?p=1720. It would be nice to just use the burnt paper effect without any texture or text.

Thanks for any consideration in advance.

No... I don't know. It looks to me like the defun for LOAD-MPI-FOREIGN-LIBRARIES is inside an EVAL-WHEN that includes :compile-toplevel. Which Lisp are you using? on which platform?

Hello,
Great work, but I still need some help. I compile and install mpich2, libskeleton and mpi-grovel and I come as far as

Form:
(LOAD-MPI-FOREIGN-LIBRARIES)
Compile-time error:
(during compile-time-too processing)
The function LOAD-MPI-FOREIGN-LIBRARIES is undefined.

But my bag is running out of tricks. Any ideas?

Here’s the full Java code to set up the example (not so succinct as the example its self).

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

class Item {
private double weight;
Item() {};
public double getWeight(){ return weight; }
public Item setWeight(double weight){ this.weight = weight; return this; }
}

public class ItemLoop {

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public static List makeList(double[] numbers) {
List itemList = new ArrayList();
for (double nn : numbers) {
itemList.add(new Item().setWeight(nn));
}
return itemList;
}

public static void main(String args[]) {

double[] numbers = {1.1, 2.2, 3.14159, 4.4};
List itemList = ItemLoop.makeList(numbers);

double total = 0.0;

for (Item item : itemList) {
total += item.getWeight();
}
}
}

Java 1.5 does vastly improve the situation over 1.4.

double total = 0.0;

for (Item item : itemList) {
total += item.getWeight();
}

Last summer I was maintaining a poorly written Java 1.4 application, so I still vividly recall 1.4’s awkwardness.

I had included a link, but the link got stripped on me. Oops. I’ve attached it over there now.

Sweet! Love the script. But you need to add the source file back at the registry.gimp.org. (It’s missing)
