sketch, sdl2, c2ffi on M1 Mac?
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.

sketch, sdl2, c2ffi on M1 Mac?
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 Isn't a Programming Language Anymore
> 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.

Alternative to ECL?
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.

Installing c2ffi on Ubuntu
git clone https://github.com/rpav/c2ffi git checkout -b llvm-11.0.0 refs/remotes/origin/llvm-11.0.0 cd build cmake .. # -DBUILD_CONFIG=Release LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/llvm-11/lib/ make # -j8 sudo checkinstall
What are some alternatives?
