Welcome to Ready Lisp!

The intention of this project to provide a fulling working Lisp environment
that’s only a double-click away for Mac OS X users.

This package includes the following code items:

• Aquamacs
• SBCL (Steel Bank Common Lisp)
• SLIME (Superior Lisp Interaction Mode for Emacs)
• paredit.el
• redshank.el
• cldoc.el

It also includes the following documentation, all integrated with the Info
system (just press C-h i within Emacs to view them):

• ANSI Common Lisp HyperSpec
• SLIME documentation
• ASDF documentation
• SBCL user’s manual

There are also HTML versions of all documentation, and PDF versions of most
documentation, available in these two locations:

• Ready Lisp.app/Contents/Resources/html
• Ready Lisp.app/Contents/Resources/pdf

Everthing has been pre-configured for you to enable all options and turn on
all modes. If you wish to configure things, edit this file:

• Ready Lisp.app/Contents/Resources/site-lisp/init.lisp.el

Building

NOTE: 64-bit and threading support are not enabled in Ready Lisp, because
neither of these is officially supported by SBCL on Mac OS X (yet). If you
wish to enable them, you will have to build your own Ready Lisp from sources.
Fortunately, this process has been made quite simple for you:

git clone git://github.com/jwiegley/ready-lisp.git
cd ready-lisp
make

This may take quite a while, but eventually it will leave a .dmg file in an
image sub-directory.

To build with 64-bit Intel support:

make ARCH=x86_64

To build with threading enabled:

make THREADING=yes

To build a universal binary, assuming you have ssh access to a PowerPC box
named ppcbox:

make PPC_HOST=ppcbox

If you wish to update any of the sub-packages to newer versions, edit the
Makefile to select the version(s) you want, run git checkout <TAG> within
sbcl to select a release tag, and finally run make clean, followed by
another make.
