Support or explicitly reject older MCL

Open eschaton opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

On a lark, I tried to load Quicklisp on MCL 5.2 on an iBook G4 running Mac OS X 10.4.11. It failed because on that platform, there’s no CCL:make-socket to re-export from qlqs-ccl.

It’d be awesome if Quicklisp could support old versions of MCL, of course, but in the absence of support it should probably explicitly reject them.

What *features* can be used to distinguish Clozure CL from MCL?

There’s at least :clozure. And it looks like only MCL has :mcl in it.
