Probably asdf-install can't find or execute external program „tar”
to extract archive.

Yes, that was the reason for the error. I installed "tar" and put it in
path.
Now I get:
"Installing WXCL in C:\lisp\sbcl\site\,C:\lisp\sbcl\site-systems\
NIL"
There is nothing in those two directories after install and when I try
(require 'wxcl) in REPL I get the following error:
"Don't know how to REQUIRE WXCL.
[Condition of type SB-INT:EXTENSION-FAILURE]"

Tried same for cffi package, the same thing happens.
There is noting installed in those two directories and cannot "require"
package.

What is the problem now ?

I downloaded wxcl package with all its dependancies and
extracted that to the same folder where asdf can see it
("c:\lisp\sbcl\site-systems")
but every time I end up with different error.
Perhaps some files overlap others when extracting to the same folder.
How do I add folders ?
I tried following from the manual:

(setf asdf:*central-registry*
'(*default-pathname-defaults*
#p"my-folder-1"
#p"my-folder-2"))

but it doesn't work.
Typing *default-pathname-defaults* in REPL gives me c:\\lisp\\..
By typing "asdf:*central-registry*" I get:
((MERGE-PATHNAMES ".sbcl/systems/" (USER-HOMEDIR-PATHNAME))
(LET ((ASDF::HOME (POSIX-GETENV "SBCL_HOME")))
(WHEN (AND ASDF::HOME (NOT (STRING= ASDF::HOME "")))
(MERGE-PATHNAMES "site-systems/" (TRUENAME ASDF::HOME))))
*DEFAULT-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS*)

Where can I see my newly added folders ?

I would like to add "C:\lisp\sbcl\site-systems\<package-name>" directories
for each package. How do I do it ?

I missunderstood those two "#p".
I'm new to lisp.
I wrote now:

(setf asdf:*central-registry*
'(*default-pathname-defaults*
"c:/lisp/sbcl/site-systems/wxcl"
"c:/lisp/sbcl/site-systems/cffi"))

and when I type "asdf:*central-repository*" I get:

(*DEFAULT-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS* "c:/lisp/sbcl/site-systems/wxcl"
"c:/lisp/sbcl/site-systems/cffi")

I unpacked wxcl package in "c:/lisp/sbcl/site-systems/wxcl"
and tried (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op 'wxcl)
but it replies with:

component "wxcl" not found
[Condition of type ASDF:MISSING-COMPONENT

What now ?
Is *default-pathname-defaults* a prefix for all other folders ?
When *default-pathname-defaults* is "c:/lisp" should I then just add
"/sbcl/site-systems/wxcl" to have "c:/lisp/sbcl/site-systems/wxcl" as my
additional folder ?

The pathnames have to have a forward slash at the end like this:

(setf asdf:*central-registry*
'(*default-pathname-defaults*
"c:/lisp/sbcl/site-systems/wxcl/"
"c:/lisp/sbcl/site-systems/cffi/"))

Now asdf installs everything.
I installed all dependancies of "wxcl".
Then when I try to install "wxcl" I get the following error:

The constant WXCL:+LIBRARY-NAME+ is being redefined (from
"../lib/wxc-msw2.6.2.dll" to "../lib/wxc-msw2.6.2.dll")
[Condition of type DEFCONSTANT-UNEQL]

What that means ? Is that an error within the package itself or it has to do
with something else?
