About
clbuild is a shell script helping with the download, compilation, an invocation of Common Lisp applications. It defaults to SBCL but otherwise tries to be somewhat independent of your local environment.
clbuild was originally written by Luke Gorrie. (Idea from jhbuild by James Henstridge, a Gnome hacker).
