**d*** is used at compile time, so need sto be defined in compile time #20

This line is inside (eval-when (compile...), but D* is not, so it is not defined if you just compile the system without loading the source first.
Needs to either define D* at compile time, or just use plain * in this line.

Hi @Yehouda !

After your message I am starting wondering why is (eval-when even needed around that constant. 🤔

I can see no reason so I just removed it, let me know if this changes fix the issue you reported, or introduces more bugs, instead! 😅

You can find the changes in the development branch

Thank a lot for your report!

That wouldn't work because define-constant always evaluates the value at compile time. For example, if you put in a file:

(alexandria:define-constant *junk* 
 (progn (print "Evalting the value for *junk*") 7)
 :test #'=)

and compile it, it prints the string.

Thanks for your explanation @Yehouda ! I think I am starting to understand the problem you pointed out.

I wrapped most of the operations defined in that file in eval-when, and pushed the changes in the development branch. I hope I fixed the issue now! 😅

Bye and happy new year!
