Loading in Lispworks 8.0.1 with quicklisp fails

[dmsurti]

• Lispworks Version: 8.0.1 (64-bit) for macOS
• mac OS version: Ventura 13.0
• mac Silicon: Intel

When I attempt to load cl-protobufs using quicklisp, I get the following error:

CL-USER 5 > (ql:quickload :cl-protobufs)
To load "cl-protobufs":
  Load 1 ASDF system:
    cl-protobufs

Any inputs to resolve this?

Just a note: Works fine on the same mac with SBCL 2.2.10

I try to keep this working for ABCL, SBCL, and CCL. I would be very happy if someone got this to work with lispworks, but afaik nobodies worked on it yet.

@Slids Sure, I will try to resolve this issue. Can you give me some quick hints looking at the error trace? Thanks.

This is occuring in flat-bits.lisp: https://github.com/qitab/cl-protobufs/blob/bf5447065714a9f5b1b6ce6d0512fd99b4105e76/float-bits.lisp

will have to replace lispworks-float:??? with the correct ??? in the correct package.

Working on https://github.com/qitab/cl-protobufs/pull/378 which should resolve this issue, if there are more afterwords happy to work with you!
