Build fails on first step

[lehitoskin]

I somehow managed to read a few minds and get things setup to the point where I could run (ql:quickload :lispos-file) and it would do more than complain that such a thing doesn't exist. Instead, it tells me the compilation has failed. I guess it's progress, after a fashion. Here's the output:

I fixed this for myself by deleting mbuild/home/iterate-1.4.whatever. The problem is that iterate before a certain date doesn't build with newer SBCL installs. If you delete that directory and then re-try the make, it should work. It did for me, anyway.

Reference

later

You also need to copy the iterate directory out of quicklisp/dists/quicklisp/software into the mbuild/home directory or the machine won't boot all of the way.

(if you don't pick the framebuffer, at least for me, it'll look like the machine hung while loading the various systems it needs. If you pick the framebuffer boot option, it'll show debug information about what it's doing.)

Thank you @cmoore.
