Re: Couldn't find how to build an executable out of Lisp code

Not really. The executable doesn't work if you don't have SBCL

Sorry, I'm wrong, it does work pretty good, except that the executable
does not allow to load any package

This is meaningless, until you implement and show us a function called
LOAD-PACKAGE.
Do you mean my COM.INFORMATIMAGO.COMMON-LISP.PACKAGE:LOAD-PACKAGE?

In Common Lisp, you can only load files, or define/make package, and
both operations can be done in saved images, whether executable or
not, as long as the program doesn't go to extraordinary lengths to
prevent you to do so.


and makes a really big image, about
22Mb only with the basic. Elsewhere, using zip to compress it, the
resulting archive is 7Mb, somewhat acceptable considering that you have
a complete CL system being integrated.

Ah! :-)
