Re: compiling a Lisp source to exe

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.

What do you exactly mean by "distribute"? To who do you have to distribute your programs? Is this only internal (at your company, university, or so?), or do you mean wider distribution? Or do you mean distributing the programs to your own personal machines?

It would be good to know what your requirements are, then it should be easier to figure out what the best solution is. Creating exe files is not the most prominent approach in Lisp...
