Re: Compile-time detection of EOL translation mode (CLISP)
Reini Urban (quoting Sam Steingold at the issue tracker
page [1]) wrote:
The original problem is best solved by a
(setq *default-file-encoding* :unix)
in ~/.clisprc.lisp
As mentioned in an earlier post, that doesn't work for
*standard-output*, presumably because it's already :dos
before .clisprc runs. It would work if there were a way to
change the external-format of an already-open stream. Is
there?
Sam also wrote at the issue tracker page [1]:
note that even the cygwin CLISP is expected to write files
useful for other (non-cygwin) programs, so the fact that
they really expect CRLF does matter to us.
Au contraire; speaking for myself, the reason I use Cygwin
is to avoid (as much as possible) dealing with Windows's
non-unixy things such as CRLFs. If I wanted CLISP to act
like a Windows program rather than a unix program, I would
use a Windows (non-Cygwin) version of it.
By the way, the cited section of the CLISP implementation
notes [2] says that defined(WIN32) is true in Cygwin, but it
isn't.
