• create s new module sets out of source files
• add s module sets to a linking set to produce a new linking set
• run s CLISP with module sets added

• Platform Dependent: Only in CLISP built without configure flag --without-dynamic-modules .

  install s new module sets for general use

create

The command

$ clisp-link create  module file ...

creates a module set in module directory which refers (via symbolic links) to files file... The files are expected to be modules of their own.

add

The command

$ clisp-link add  source destination module ...

combines the linking set in directory source and the modules in directories module... to a new linking set, in the directory destination which is newly created.

run

The command

$ clisp-link run  source module ...

runs the linking set in directory source, with the modules in directories module... Unless CLISP has been built with the configuration option --without-dynamic-modules , the loading will be performed using SYS::DYNLOAD-MODULES. Otherwise - this is much slower - a temporary linking set will be created and deleted afterwards.

install

Platform Dependent: Only in CLISP built without configure flag --without-dynamic-modules .

The command

$ clisp-link install  module ...

installs the modules in directories module... into CUSTOM:*LIB-DIRECTORY* or, if it is not writable to the user (e.g., if a system-wide CLISP installation is used and the user does not have administrative privileges), into CUSTOM:*USER-LIB-DIRECTORY* .

Variable CUSTOM:*USER-LIB-DIRECTORY* is initially set to (MERGE-PATHNAMES ".clisp/" (USER-HOMEDIR-PATHNAME)) if that directory exists, and can be reset in the RC file.

Note

Do not add CUSTOM:*USER-LIB-DIRECTORY* to CUSTOM:*LOAD-PATHS* or under any element thereof. Use REQUIRE instead of LOAD to load dynamic modules.

For this command to work, each module directory must contain a Makefile with a clisp-module-distrib target which uses LN to distribute the files necessary to run the module into destdir. This is in addition to the general requirement that link.sh is present.
