How do I make an executable from my programme?
This depends on your implementation; you will need to consult your vendor’s documentation. • With ECL and GCL, the standard compilation process will produce a native executable. • With LispWorks, see the Delivery User’s Guide section of the documentation. • With Allegro Common Lisp, see the Delivery section of the manual. However, the classical way of interacting with Common Lisp programs does not involve standalone executables. Let’s consider this during two phases of the development process: programming and delivery. Programming phase: Common Lisp development has more of an incremental feel than is common in batch-oriented languages, where an edit-compile-link cycle is common. A CL developer will run simple tests and transient interactions with the environment at the REPL (or Read-Eval-Print-Loop, also known as the listener). Source code is saved in files, and the build/load dependencies between source files are recorded in a system-description facility such as ASDF (which plays a si
