That is using sb-alien and sb-sys, which basically is no common lisp anymore. That is basically sbcl. I didn’t get anything in that direction (my prompt said nothing about a CL implementation) but I would have rejected it. I just wanted to see glfw and opengl in the :use clause. I have to do something that has to work in Mac, Linux and Windows, with at least ECL, sbcl and ccl.

Yeah, I was just trying to keep to the letter of what you'd said - you asked for it just to use OpenGL/GLFW bindings, not other libraries, so I didn't want to install cl-opengl and cl-glfw, and told it just to use its own FFI.

Well at least ypu and the other commenters made something that worked, which I was unable to do. Seems the key is using a coding agent, not an LLM out of the box like I did.
