Does not install with Windows 7 + SBCL + quicklisp + MinGW? about cl-glfw3 HOT 3 CLOSED

Looks like you might not have libffi installed. In any case it seems like you're crashing when trying to load cffi, so cl-glfw3 shouldn't be the issue.

Let me know if you can isolate this to cl-glfw3, though.

That's the thing, actually. I do have the latest Libffi installed and everything works with cl-glfw (version 2.6). I cannot, however, get quicklisp to play well with cl-glfw3. I realize this probably has little to do with cl-glfw3, but I'm at my wits end and struggling to feel motivated learning common lisp--not a huge community of support.

Maybe I should just learn clojure... (sorry for the rant)

I'm afraid I don't use Windows (or Common Lisp much these days, for that matter), but I can suggest a few things. While cl-glfw does use cffi, it doesn't use cffi-libffi, so that is likely the problem. So does (ql:quickload "cffi-libffi") work? If not, the problem is unquestionably with libffi. Making sure your SBCL and Quicklisp are up to date might help in this case.

If you're not digging the CL community (which, I can't fault you for), consider picking up CHICKEN Scheme. It's a elegant language (Scheme) with an implementation that compiles to C, works on almost any platform, has a relatively large collection of pragmatic libraries, and has a great community (#chicken on freenode is very helpful). Plus I maintain the glfw3 package (and many more awesome GL libraries, if I do say so myself) there ;-)
