    In that same thread, someone mentioned adding some OSX specific paths to :sysincludes in the autowrap.lisp file, so basically I downloaded the git repos for https://github.com/lispgames/cl-sdl2-image and https://github.com/Failproofshark/cl-sdl2-ttf into quicklisp/local-projects as well as the repos referenced in the cl-sdl2 thread above.

    Quickloading :sketch or :sdl2 wants the c2ffi library which seems to be available on neither Quicklisp nor Homebrew. Downloading that library from source and following the build instructions (and several alternative variants found by Googling ) leads to errors like:

    > C compiler based tool that outputs DWARF or DWARF-like debug output that actually lays out everything

    That sounds like C2FFI: https://github.com/rpav/c2ffi

    The only language ecosystem where I've seen it used is Common Lisp. But it emits plain JSON and depends only on LLVM (albeit a specific version thereof), and I don't see any reason why you couldn't build e.g. a Python auto-binding library on top of it.

    There is the cl-autowrap that can generate lisp packages from C header filesc- I am unsure if it sticks to ANSI C or goes beyond. It inturn depends on c2ffi for the first time around.
