+ A script to update/install the latest versions of all the most + important Common Lisp packages. +
+ ++ 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). +
+ ++ Currently, the following libraries and applications are supported + (2007-06-24): +
++ Please send patches bug reports + to + clbuild-devel@common-lisp.net + (list information). +
+ ++ Q How does clbuild differ from asdf-install? +
+
+ A clbuild includes a list of
+ In contrast, asdf-install can install
+
+
+ To starts clbuild's slime, make sure to use the Windows version of + Emacs, not cygwin's Emacs. +
+ + ++ At this point, clbuild is maintained in darcs. There are several + branches of clbuild, the most recent of which is probably David's: +
+$ darcs get http://www.lichteblau.com/blubba/clbuild+
+ Other repositories are Christophe's + tree at http://common-lisp.net/~crhodes/clbuild and Luke's + original + repository at http://fresh.homeunix.net/~luke/misc/repo/clbuild +
+ +You might want to make the shell script executable:
+$ cd clbuild +clbuild$ chmod +x chbuild+ +
+ clbuild depends on various helper applications. + Try check to make sure they are installed: +
+clbuild$ ./clbuild check +Checking for helper applications... +found /usr/bin/X11/cvs +found /usr/bin/X11/svn +found /usr/bin/X11/darcs +found /usr/bin/X11/wget +found /bin/tar +found /bin/mktemp +Success: All helper applications found. + +Checking Lisp startup... +Success: Lisp starts up using "sbcl" + +Looking for installable systems... +0 systems definition files registered+ +
+ If that worked, run update or build to download + (and optionally also build) the userland: +
+clbuild$ ./clbuild update +cvs co flexichain... +cvs co mcclim... +... lots of output not shown ... +update complete +46 systems definition files registered+ +
+ You can also download and recompile SBCL using buildsbcl + or buildworld: +
+clbuild$ ./clbuild buildsbcl+
+ For other options, see help: +

If you don't run these commands +(or you remove target/) then clbuild uses the 'sbcl' in your PATH. + +Set CCL to your OpenMCL binary to use OpenMCL instead of SBCL. +Example: CCL=~/ccl/lx86cl64 ./clbuild build +(Not supported with targets 'buildsbcl' and 'sbcl'.) + +Set CLIM_BACKEND=gtkairo to enable clim-gtkairo instead of clim-clx. +(Requires GTK+ >= 2.8.)+
