Re: compiling a Lisp source to exe

Well as I said, read the fine manuals.

As always very good advice, and as often happens, not done until
someone says RTFM. Okay, I did (and as a matter of fact had previously
printed the CMUCL manual).

I spent more than an hour last night trying to make it work, learned a
few things, but was unable to accomplish the task I set out. I just
need to get more familiar with these tools. I'm satisfied that this
can be done, and maybe in six months or so I will focus and getting it
done.


For CLISP for example:

http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/image.html

see the :executable option to the function
EXT:SAVEINITMEM .

CMUCL:

http://common-lisp.net/project/cmucl/doc/cmu-user/extensions.html#toc47

See the :executable option to the function extensions:save-lisp .

My three competencies are Perl, Java, and C++. In the case of Perl,
all the machines I am responsible for have Perl. Ditto Java for the
JRE. As to C++, the compilers generate exe files directly.

I would like to achieve some competency in Lisp but Lisps do not
typically get installed on machines and do not have a 'LRE' (or do
they?) Therefore, the only easy way I can think of to run a script
written in Lisp is to compile and distribute it as an exe.

Thanks for your help, CC.
