log4cl is outdated in quicklisp and won't compile on newer versions of SBCL

[cinerion]

When i was trying to build it on my system (Void Linux), i got an error during the compilation of log4cl. Here are the specifics:

OS: Linux 6.1.25_1 Lisp: SBCL 2.3.4.void.1 ASDF: 3.3.6 Quicklisp: (#<DIST quicklisp 2023-02-15>) (most recent at the moment)

When running make build i get the following output:

[package log4cl.package-setup]....................
[package log4cl-impl]...;
; caught ERROR:
;   READ error during COMPILE-FILE:
;
;     Lock on package SB-C violated when interning LAMBDA-PARENT while in package
;     LOG4CL-IMPL.
;   See also:

Thank you very much for all the effort that goes into making CIEL.

Thank you!

I suppose having a newer log4cl has no backward consequences, so this looks good to me.

I have tested the PR on my debian 11 machine and it compiles without issue:

OS: Linux 5.10.0-22-amd64 Lisp: SBCL 2.1.1.debian ASDF: 3.3.6 Quicklisp: (#<DIST quicklisp 2023-02-15>)

However, when i was compiling it i ran into a missing library at the final step

I was missing zlib.so, This was solved by installing zlib1g-dev. This was rather fresh machine so i don't know how likely is that other people don't have it installed already, but it might me a good idea to add it to the list of system dependencies. Should i open a new issue/PR for this?

[vindarel]

Merged, thanks again. I am looking forward to see what you'll do with CIEL. If you end up with useful scripts, keep up the habit and share :)

Ah, I now understand why I didn't see this issue in my builds: the Docker image I use has the required dependencies baked in (https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/cl-docker-images/sbcl).

But, I think it is libzstd-dev we need?

Related to #23

Yes, though straightforward, I can do it later but I'd merge a PR.

ps: you are more than welcome to add a gitlab CI step to produce a binary for Void.

Moved discussion to #23.

Will do :)

Great!, i'll see to it later when i have read how gitlab's CI instructions work.
