(ql:quickload :cl-glfw3) fails on LispWorks

[e2-71828]

I'm running LispWorks Personal Edition 6.1.1 on Windows 10, and quickload is giving me the following error:

CL-USER 2 > (ql:quickload 'cl-glfw3)
To load "cl-glfw3":
  Load 1 ASDF system:
    cl-glfw3
; Loading "cl-glfw3"

Error: Unable to load any of the alternatives:

   2 Use another library instead.

  13 Return to top loop level 0.

Type :b for backtrace or :c <option number> to proceed.
Type :bug-form "<subject>" for a bug report template or :? for other options.

Selecting continuation option 2 is able to correct the problem by specifying glfw's actual Windows filename:

%CL-GLFW3 3 : 1 > :c 2
Enter a new value (unevaluated): ("glfw3.dll")
Creating foreign funcallable for signature (:POINTER :POINTER :POINTER) -> :VOID
Creating foreign funcallable for signature (:POINTER) -> :POINTER

.
Creating foreign funcallable for signature (:INT :POINTER) -> :POINTER

(CL-GLFW3)

At this point, it's at least capable of opening a window and running keyboard handlers; I haven't tried getting the graphics pipeline to work yet.

If you're trying to reproduce the issue, note that LispWorks Personal ships with an ancient version of asdf that has to be upgraded before quicklisp will work. I used the instructions here to do this.

As you can see here:

cl-glfw3/glfw-bindings.lisp

Line 97 in 543d5f1

(:windows "glfw3.dll")

We are trying to load the glfw3.dll but your lisp can't find it.

I had a very similar error when using ccl on Mac OSX Sierra.

? (ql:quickload :cl-glfw3)

To load "cl-glfw3":
  Load 1 ASDF system:
    cl-glfw3
; Loading "cl-glfw3"

> Error: Unable to load any of the alternatives:
>           ("libglfw3.1.dylib" "libglfw3.dylib" "libglfw.3.1.dylib" "libglfw.3.dylib")
> While executing: CFFI::FL-ERROR, in process listener(1).
> Type :POP to abort, :R for a list of available restarts.
> Type :? for other options.

This was solved by using ccl64 rather than ccl.

The dylib seems to be unavailable for the 32bit compiled lisp.
