Sorry version is 2.2.1...

sbcl-1.1.12 builds for me without errors.

According to the log provided, the build succeeds, but fails in the SB-POSIX-TESTS::READDIR.1:

where SBCL attempts to iterate over the directory entries of the root filesystem "/", failing when any entry is not a string. I speculate that the originating bug report has some "funky" entries in the root directory that SBCL isn't dealing with very well.

@cielartisan: could you check your root directory to see if it has anything "weird" in it? If possible, it might help to know what the contents of "ls -1a /" returns.

In general, I don't expect this bug to affect many other users of SBCL, but I will endeavor to figure out what is "special" about the reporters case, getting feedback from SBCL maintainers if necessary.

ls -1a / returns:

.

.DS_Store
.DocumentRevisions-V100
.PKInstallSandboxManager
.Spotlight-V100
.Trashes

ユーザ情報

Well, this ユーザ情報 is symlink to /Library/Documentation/ユーザ情報, which contains ENERGY STAR.pdf. Moving the directory indeed solves the problem temporary, but it will cause an issue during the next update of sbcl (until binary package is provided).

[cielartisan@…]

Anyway this issue is very rare and happens mostly to only Asians, so this issue can be closed as MacPorts issue...

[easye]

A known bug in SBCL, cf. ​https://bugs.launchpad.net/sbcl/+bug/601576 .

The problem is larger than "happens mostly to only Asians": I would expect this to give problems to anyone using a filesystem with non-ISO-8859-1 encodings.

I am closing as "wontfix", but it would be possible to address this with a patch to ignore the results of this test if a significant number of people object to sweeping things under the rug.

[cielartisan@…]

Alright. Thank you so much. If sbcl's official fix doesn't come, I just hope we'll have binary package later.

[cielartisan@…]

sbcl 1.1.13 came before you release binary package... I really need binary package so that I will not have to struggle with this issue. When will the buildbot ready?

[Themanwithoutaplan]

Cc Me!

[Themanwithoutaplan]

What a weird error! There is a workaround: just rename the files during the build. On the German system the following is sufficient:

mv /Benutzerhandbücher\ und\ Informationen /Benutzerhandbuecher\ und\ Informationen
